Zechariah 13:8-9

8The Lord declares, “Throughout the land two-thirds will be cut off and die. Yet, one-third will be left in it.

9I will bring this third ⌞of the people⌟ through the fire. I will refine them as silver is refined. I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on me, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people.’ They will reply, ‘The Lord is our God.’ ”
