Spiritual » Refining » The refining influence of afflictions
But He knows the way I walk. He has tried me. I shall come forth as gold.
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!'
You have tested us, O God. You have refined us in the same way silver is refined.
I will turn my power against you (turn the back of my hand upon you). I will remove your impurities with bleach. I will get rid of all your worthless qualities.
I have been testing you for myself like silver. I have put you through the fire of trouble.
Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Behold, I will refine them and assay them. What else can I do, because of the daughter of my people?
He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. He will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will offer to Jehovah offerings in righteousness.
The proof of your faith is more precious than gold that perishes. Though it is tested by fire, it may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Beloved ones do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, for it comes upon you like a test, as though some strange thing were happening to you.
