Thematic Bible: The lord trying
Thematic Bible
Trial » The lord trying
I will bring the third part into the fire. I will refine them, as silver is refined, and I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say: 'It is my people!' They will say: 'Jehovah is my God!'
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold but Jehovah proves the heart.
The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately corrupt. Who can understand it? I, Jehovah, search the heart and examine the mind (inner man). I give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds.
I well know, O my God, that you test everyone's heart and are pleased with people of integrity. In honesty and sincerity I have willingly given all this to you. I have seen how your people who are gathered here have been happy to bring offerings to you.
Examine me, O Jehovah, and test me. Look closely (deeply) into my heart and mind.
Let the evil of the wicked come to an end. Establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God.
Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah's throne is in heaven. His eyes see. They examine the sons of men. Jehovah tests (examines) righteous and wicked people alike. He hates wicked people and the ones who love violence.
