7 “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd
And against the man, My Associate,”
Declares Yahweh of hosts.
“Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered;
And I will turn My hand [d]against the little ones.

8 And it will be in all the land,”

Declares Yahweh,
“That two parts in it will be cut off and breathe their last;
But the third will be left in it.

9 And I will bring the third part through the

 fire
And refine them as silver is refined
And test them as gold is tested.
[e]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.’”
