Zechariah 13:7-9

New Life Version

The Shepherd Who Saves

⁷ “Wake up, O sword, against My shepherd and against the man who is close to Me,” says the Lord of All. “Kill the shepherd, and the sheep will go everywhere. And I will turn My hand against the little ones. ⁸ In the whole land,” says the Lord, “two-thirds will die, but one-third will be left alive. ⁹ And I will bring the third part through the fire. I will make them pure like silver is made pure. I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
