The few will have hard times, like hot fire. This will make them good and strong. They will call to God. God will answer. God will say, βThey are My people.β They will say, βGod is our God.β β€οΈ
This third I will bring through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, βThey are My people,β and they will say, βThe LORD is our God.ββ
KJV
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.
ASV
And I will bring the third part into 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, Jehovah is my God.
