[:en]On that day, the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will be cleansed from sin and impurity. God will banish the names of the idols from the land and remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land. (vs. 1-2)
The Good Shepherd will be smitten through suffering and death in order to save His flock. Two thirds of the sheep will be struck down and perish. One third will be left and be refined like silver and tested like gold. God will answer their call because They are His people and the Lord is their God” (v. 7-9)[:]
