13 ⁷ "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,
against the man who stands next to me,"
says Yahweh of hosts.
"Strike the shepherd, that the sheep may be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
13 ⁸ In the whole land, says Yahweh,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
and one third shall be left alive.
13 ⁹ And I will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and 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, 'Yahweh is my God.' "
