Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you 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 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.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee 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 refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests hearts.

For You have put us to the test, God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though something strange were happening to you;

But He knows the way I take; When He has put me to the test, I will come out as gold.

For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.For the moment, all discipline seems not to be pleasant, but painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

Therefore this is what the Lord of armies says:“ Behold, I will refine them and put them to the test; For what else can I do, because of the daughter of My people?

so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be a people of His own possession, as today.

“ But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderer’s soap.And He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness.

“ Son of man, the house of Israel has become waste metal to Me; all of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the smelting furnace; they are the waste metal of silver.Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:‘ Because all of you have become waste metal, therefore, behold, I am going to gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the smelting furnace to blow fire on it in order to melt it, so I will gather you in My anger and in My wrath, and I will place you there and melt you.And I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted in the midst of it.As silver is melted in the furnace, so you will be melted in the midst of it; and you will know that I, the Lord, have poured out My wrath on you.’ ”

Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.

And it will come about in all the land,” Declares the Lord,“ That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it.And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say,‘ They are My people,’ And they will say,‘ The Lord is my God.’ ”

I will also turn My hand against you, And smelt away your impurities as with lye; And I will remove all your slag.Then I will restore your judges as at first, And your counselors as at the beginning; After that you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful city.”

( for they are Your people and Your inheritance which You have brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace),

and I will purge from you the rebels and those who revolt against Me; I will bring them out of the land where they reside, but they will not enter the land of Israel. So you will know that I am the Lord.
