Zechariah 13:8 in Context — Zechariah 13

6 E se lhe perguntarem: Que feridas são estas em tuas mãos? Ele responderá: Com elas fui ferido na casa de meus amigos.

7 Desperta-te, ó espada, contra o pastor e contra o homem que é companheiro,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos. Fere ao pastor, e as ovelhas se dispersarão; e voltarei minha mão sobre os pequenos.

8 E será em toda a terra,diz o SENHOR, que as duas partes serão exterminadas nela, e perecerão; mas a terceira parte restará nela.

9 E porei esta terceira parte no fogo, e a refinarei como se refina a prata; e eu os provarei como se prova o ouro. Eles invocarão o meu nome, e eu lhes ouvirei; direi: São meu povo; e eles dirão: O SENHOR é meu Deus.
