The LORD’s word “Awake, sword, against my shepherd”
칼아 깨어서 내 목자를 치라 하는 여호와의 말씀
Zechariah 13:7–9: “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says the LORD of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones. It shall happen that in all the land,” says the LORD, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it. 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, ‘The LORD is my God.’” The text names neither the shepherd nor “the man who is close to me”. The two editions read 13:7 otherwise: the Korean Revised Version has the shepherd struck as a condition, 목자를 치면 양이 흩어지려니와 (if the shepherd is struck, the sheep will scatter), and the hand over the little ones, 작은 자들 위에는 내가 내 손을 드리우리라 (over the little ones I will let down my hand), where WEB reads “Strike the shepherd” and “against the little ones”; and it sets 만군의 여호와가 말하노라 (says the LORD of Armies) at the head of 13:7 and 여호와가 말하노라 (says the LORD) at the head of 13:8.
