NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ »Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow (neighbor) (companion), said Jehovah of Hosts: Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered! I will turn my hand upon (against) the little ones. ⁸ »It will happen in all the land,« said Jehovah, »two parts will be cut off and die; but the third will be left. ⁹ »I will bring the third part into the fire. I will refine them, as silver is refined, and I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say: ‘It is my people!’ They will say: ‘Jehovah is my God!«’
