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

鼎为炼银，炉为炼金；惟有耶和华熬炼人心。

鼎为炼银，炉为炼金，惟有耶和华熬炼人心。

鼎为炼银，炉为炼金，惟有耶和华熬炼人心。

鼎炼银，炉炼金，耶和华试炼人心。

用锅炼银，用炉炼金；唯有耶和华锻炼人心。

熔锅用以炼银，熔炉用以炼金；而耶和华察验人心。

鼎為煉銀，爐為煉金；惟有耶和華熬煉人心。

鼎為煉銀，爐為煉金，惟有耶和華熬煉人心。

鼎為煉銀，爐為煉金，惟有耶和華熬煉人心。

鼎煉銀，爐煉金，耶和華試煉人心。

用鍋煉銀，用爐煉金；唯有耶和華鍛煉人心。

鼎要鍊銀，爐要鍊金；惟有永恆主是察驗人心的。

熔鍋用以煉銀，熔爐用以煉金；而耶和華察驗人心。

鼎以鍊銀、爐以鍊金、惟耶和華鍛鍊人心、

金銀為洪爐所鍛鍊、人心為耶和華所鑒察。

鍊銀者鼎、鍊金者爐、鑒察人心者乃主、

The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.

Fire tests silver, and heat tests gold. But the Lord tests our hearts.

The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests hearts.

Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart.

A crucible for silver, and a smelter for gold, and the LORD is the tester of hearts.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests hearts.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests the hearts.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; But Jehovah trieth the hearts.

A crucible for silver, and a smelter for gold, and the Lord is the tester of hearts.

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

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.

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

I, the LORD, probe into people’s minds. I examine people’s hearts. I deal with each person according to how he has behaved. I give them what they deserve based on what they have done.

Examine me, O LORD, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives!

As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, so a person is proved by the praise he receives.

I know, my God, that you examine thoughts and are pleased with integrity. With pure motives I contribute all this; and now I look with joy as your people who have gathered here contribute to you.

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.

For you, O God, tested us; you purified us like refined silver.

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.’”

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.

Furthermore, I will strike her followers with a deadly disease, and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay each one of you what your deeds deserve.
