The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.

风箱吹火，铅被烧毁；他们炼而又炼，终是徒然；因为恶劣的还未除掉。

風箱己焦、鉛錫當因火而消、鍊而又鍊、終屬徒然、惡劣者仍然未除、

The bellows blow fiercely to burn away the lead with fire, but the refining goes on in vain; the wicked are not purged out.

The fire is made very hot so the lead will burn away. But it is impossible to make these people pure. Those who are evil are not removed.

The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed by the fire; in vain the refining goes on, for the wicked are not removed.

The bellows fiercely fan the flames to burn out the corruption. But it does not purify them, for the wickedness remains.

The bellows blow, blasting the lead with fire. The refining is completely in vain; the evil ones are not separated out.

The bellows blow fiercely, The lead is consumed by the fire; In vain the refining goes on, But the wicked are not separated.

The bellows blow, blasting the lead with fire. The refining is completely in vain; the evil ones are not separated out.

The fiery bellows of judgment burn fiercely. But there is too much dross to be removed. The process of refining them has proved useless. The wicked have not been purged.

The bellows blow fiercely. The lead is consumed in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away.

In thy filthiness[ is] lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt[ him].

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

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.

Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain:[ yet] surely my judgment[ is] with the LORD, and my work with my God.

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

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?

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.

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:
