8. Throughout all the land, says the Lord, two-thirds will be cut off and die;but one-third will be left in it.
9. I will put the third part into the fire.I will refine them like one refines silver;I will test them like one tests gold.They will call on my name, and I will respond to them.I will say, "They are my people."And they will say, "The Lord is our God."
