Zechariah 13:7-9

The Shepherd Struck

7 Awake, O sword, against amy shepherd,
against the man who stands next to me,”

declares the Lord of hosts.
bStrike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8In the whole land, declares the Lord,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
cand one third shall be left alive.
9And dI will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
eThey will call upon my name,
and fI will answer them.
gI will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

James 1:1
