Zechariah 13:9
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.

Study Note
'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.' The covenant formula ('my people... my God') occurs at the end of a refining process — the remnant that survives fire emerges as the covenant community. Malachi 3:2-3 and 1 Peter 1:7 develop the same metallurgical purification imagery for the trials through which authentic faith emerges. The two-way declaration — God's claim on the people and the people's claim on God — echoes Hosea 2:23 and runs as a golden thread through both Testaments, culminating in Revelation 21:3.

And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said, `My people it <FI>is<Fi> ,' And it saith, `Jehovah <FI> is<Fi> my God!'
And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
