And it will come about in all the land,”
Declares the Lord,
“That (A)two parts in it will be cut off and perish;
But the third will be left in it.
And I will bring the third part through the (B)fire,
Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will (C)call on My name,
And I will (D)answer them;
I will say, ‘They are (E)My people,’
And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

This third I will put into the fire;(B)
    I will refine them like silver(C)
    and test them like gold.(D)
They will call(E) on my name(F)
    and I will answer(G) them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’(H)
    and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.(I)’”
