Chapter 13
7'Awake, sword, against My Shepherd, And against the Man, My Associate,' Declares the Lord of armies. 'Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones. 8And it will come about in all the land,' Declares the Lord, 'That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it. 9And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.'King James Version
Chapter 13
7Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. 8And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 9And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.Christian Standard Bible
8In the whole land -- this is the Lord's declaration -- two-thirds will be cut off and die, but a third will be left in it.
9I will put this third through the fire; I will refine them as silver is refined and test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The Lord is our God.' "

'But one-third will be left in the land. 9I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure. I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘These are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’'English Standard Version
