Zechariah 13:8

God's People Cleansed

⁷ Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones. ⁸ And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there. ⁹ And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
