Zechariah 13:8-9

Contemporary English Version

⁸ Nowhere in the land
will more than a third of them
    be left alive.
⁹ Then I will purify them
    and put them to the test,
just as gold and silver
    are purified and tested.
They will pray in my name,
    and I will answer them.
I will say, “You are my people,”
and they will reply,
    “You, Lord, are our God!”
