Fire is the trial for silver and gold, and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him. [ 27:21A] The heart of the transgressor seeks after mischief, but an upright heart seeks knowledge.

Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my mind and my heart.

For You, O God, have proved us; You have tried us with fire as silver is tried.

Behold, I have sold you, [but] not for silver; but I have rescued you from the furnace of affliction.

I, the Lord, search the hearts, and test the mind, to give to everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his doings.

And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon My name, and I will hear them, and say, This is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

And who will abide the day of His coming? Or who will withstand at His appearing? For He is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers.

He shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.

so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though being tested with fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I will kill her children by death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
