5but he will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I am a tiller of the ground, for a man sold me as a slave in my youth.’ 6“And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will say, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’

7“Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd,
         And against the man, My Associate,”
         Declares the LORD of hosts.
         “Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered;
         And I will turn My hand against the little ones.

8“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.

9“And 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.’”
