The Shepherd Savior
Against the Man bwho is My Companion,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
c“Strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered;
Then I will turn My hand against dthe little ones.
Says the Lord,
“That atwo-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
bBut one–third shall be left in it:
Will brefine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
cThey will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
dI will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”
