8. It will happen in all the land, says the Lord,that two-thirds of the people in it will be cut off and die,but one-third will be left in it.
9. Then I will bring the remaining third into the fire;I will refine them like silver is refinedand will test them like gold is tested.They will call on my name and I will answer;I will say, ‘These are my people,’and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
