6 Then someone will ask him, ‘What are these wounds on your chest?’ and he will answer, ‘Some that I received in the house of my friends.’
7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd,against the man who is my associate,”says the Lord who rules over all.Strike the shepherd that the flock may be scattered;I will turn my hand against the insignificant ones.
8 It will happen in all the land, says the Lord,that two-thirds of the people in it will be cut off and die,but one-third will be left in it.
9 Then I will bring the remaining third into the fire;I will refine them like silver is refinedand will test them like gold is tested.They will call on my name and I will answer;I will say, ‘These are my people,’and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
