Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

我熬炼你，却不像熬炼银子；你在苦难的炉中，我拣选你。

看哪，我熬炼你，却不像熬炼银子；你在苦难的火炉中，我试炼你。

看哪，我熬炼你，却不像熬炼银子；你在苦难的火炉中，我试炼你。

看啊，我熬炼你，但不像在火炉中炼银子，我是在苦难的炉中熬炼你。

看哪！我熬炼了你，却不像熬炼银子；你在苦难的炉中，我拣选了你。

看哪！我熬炼你，不像熬炼银子，而是在苦难的熔炉中试炼你。

我熬煉你，卻不像熬煉銀子；你在苦難的爐中，我揀選你。

看哪，我熬煉你，卻不像熬煉銀子；你在苦難的火爐中，我試煉你。

看哪，我熬煉你，卻不像熬煉銀子；你在苦難的火爐中，我試煉你。

看啊，我熬煉你，但不像在火爐中煉銀子，我是在苦難的爐中熬煉你。

看哪！我熬煉了你，卻不像熬煉銀子；你在苦難的爐中，我揀選了你。

看哪，我熬煉你，卻不像熬煉銀子；你在苦難鑪中我試驗你。

看哪！我熬煉你，不像熬煉銀子，而是在苦難的熔爐中試煉你。

我曾鍊爾、非若鍊銀、試爾於患難之爐、

我置爾於洪爐、非煆鍊爾若金也、實歷試汝以艱耳、

我鍛鍊爾、然非若銀也、然非若銀也或作並未得銀我以苦難之爐試驗爾、

See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

I have tested you in the furnace of suffering. I have tried to make you pure. But I did not use as much heat as it takes to make silver pure.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.

I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of misery.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

The fining pot[ is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

But he knoweth the way that I take:[ when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

For they verily for a few days chastened[ us] after their own pleasure; but he for[ our] profit, that[ we] might be partakers of his holiness.Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace,[ even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as[ ye are] this day.

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he[ is] like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:And he shall sit[ as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they[ are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are[ even] the dross of silver.Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.[ As] they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt[ it]; so will I gather[ you] in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave[ you there], and melt you.Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

And it shall come to pass,[ that] in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off[ and] die; but the third shall be left therein.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 turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

For they[ be] thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I[ am] the LORD.
