I will bring the third part into the fire, And will refine them as silver is refined, And will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, 'It is my people;' And they will say, 'Yahweh is my God.'"

King James Version Public Domain
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.

And I will bring the third into the fire, and I will refine them as refines the silver, and I will test them as tests the gold. He will call on my name, and I will answer him. I will say, ‘He my people,’ and he will say, ‘Yahweh my God.’
