ZECHARIAH
- And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands?
- Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
- Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow,
- Saith the Lord of hosts:
- Smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered:
- And I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
- And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord,
- Two parts therein shall be cut off and die;
- But the third shall be left therein.
- And I will bring the third part through the fire,
- And will refine them as silver is refined,
- And will try them as gold is tried:
- They shall call on my name, and I will hear them:
- I will say, It is my people:
- And they shall say, The Lord is my God.
- Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,
- And thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
- For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;
- And the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished;
- And half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
