Thematic Bible: The lord trying


Thematic Bible



And the same third part will I bring through the fire, and will cleanse them, as the silver is cleansed: Yea and try them, like as gold is tried. Then shall they call upon my name, and I will hear them: I will say, 'It is my people.' And they shall say, 'LORD, my God.'"

Like as silver is tried in the fire and gold in the furnace, even so doth the LORD prove the hearts.

Among all things living, man hath the most deceitful and unsearchable heart. Who shall then know it? "Even I the LORD search out the ground of the heart, and try the reins, and reward every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his counsels."

I know my God, that thou provest the heart and hast pleasure in plainness. And in plainness of mine heart I have willingly given all this. And now I see thy people, which are here in gladness to offer willingly to thee.


O let the wickedness of the ungodly come to an end; but guide thou the just. For the righteous God trieth the very hearts and reins.

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's seat is in heaven. His eyes consider the poor, and his eyelids try the children of men. The LORD alloweth the righteous; but the ungodly, and him that delighteth in wickedness, doth his soul abhor.
