Zechariah 13:7 in Context — Zechariah 13

5 Y dirá: No soy profeta; labrador soy de la tierra: porque [esto] aprendí del hombre desde mi juventud.

6 Y le preguntarán: ¿Qué heridas son éstas en tus manos? Y él responderá: Con ellas fuí herido en casa de mis amigos.

7 Levántate, oh espada, sobre el pastor, y sobre el hombre compañero mío, dice Jehová de los ejércitos. Hiere al pastor, y se derramarán las ovejas: mas tornaré mi mano sobre los chiquitos.

8 Y acontecerá en toda la tierra, dice Jehová, que las dos partes serán taladas en ella, y se perderán; mas la tercera quedará en ella.

9 Y meteré en el fuego la tercera parte, y los fundiré como se funde la plata, y probarélos como se prueba el oro. El invocará mi nombre, y yo le oiré, y diré: Pueblo mío; y él dirá: Jehová es mi Dios.
