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.

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。

冶金者徒勞、風箱已焚、鉛以火消、相雜不分、

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, 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 in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away.

You mix uncleanness with obscene conduct. I tried to cleanse you, but you are not clean. You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness until I have exhausted my anger on you.

My people are obsessed with turning away from me; they call to Baal, but he will never exalt them!

The crucible is for refining silver and the furnace is for gold, likewise the LORD tests hearts.

Then I will bring the remaining third into the fire; I will refine them like silver is refined and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name and I will answer; I will say,‘ These are my people,’ and they will say,‘ The LORD is my God.’”

But I thought,“ I have worked in vain; I have expended my energy for absolutely nothing.” But the LORD will vindicate me; my God will reward me.

Dear friends, do not be astonished that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as though something strange were happening to you.

Therefore the LORD who rules over all says,“ I will now purify them in the fires of affliction and test them. The wickedness of my dear people has left me no choice. What else can I do?

Who can endure the day of his coming? Who can keep standing when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire, like a launderer’s soap.He will act like a refiner and purifier of silver and will cleanse the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will offer the LORD a proper offering.

Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold– gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away– and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
