1 On that day, a fountain will open to cleanse the sin and impurity of David's house and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

9 I will put the third part into the fire. I will refine them like one refines silver; I will test them like one tests gold. They will call on my name, and I will respond to them. I will say, "They are my people." And they will say, "The LORD is our God."
