The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but people are tested by their praise.

Fire tests silver, and heat tests gold. But people are tested by the praise they receive.

The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.

Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised.

As a crucible refines silver, and a smelter refines gold, so a person should refine his praise.

The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, And a man is valued by what others say of him.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise.

A crucible for silver, and a smelter for gold, and a man for the words of his praise.

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

The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.

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

But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

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:

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 the women answered[ one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed[ but] thousands: and[ what] can he have more but the kingdom?

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.

And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem,[ that were] called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city,[ even] from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.

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

Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth,[ that] David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.

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

The words of the LORD[ are] pure words:[ as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
