我曾鍊爾、非若鍊銀、試爾於患難之爐、

我置爾於洪爐、非煆鍊爾若金也、實歷試汝以艱耳、

我鍛鍊爾、然非若銀也、然非若銀也或作並未得銀我以苦難之爐試驗爾、

See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

I have tested you in the furnace of suffering. I have tried to make you pure. But I did not use as much heat as it takes to make silver pure.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.

I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of misery.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

熔锅用以炼银，熔炉用以炼金；而耶和华察验人心。

是的，神哪，你察验了我们，你熬炼了我们，如同熬炼银子！

各位蒙爱的人哪，当火一样的考验临到你们中间，给你们试炼的时候，你们不要感到奇怪，好像发生了怪异的事。

肉身的父亲在短暂的日子里，固然照着自己的意思来管教我们；但万灵之父是为了我们的益处管教我们，好使我们在他的圣洁上有份。不过所有的管教，当时虽然不觉得是愉快的事，反觉得是忧伤的事，而后来却为那些由此受到操练的人，结出平安和义行的果子。

好让你们的信仰经过考验，就比那被火炼过仍然会朽坏的金子更加宝贵，能在耶稣基督显现的时候，被看为是可以得着称赞、荣耀和尊贵的。

不过他来的日子，谁能承受得起呢？他显现的时候，谁能站立得住呢？因为他像炼金之人的火，又像漂布之人的碱。他必安坐像熬炼、洁净银子之人，洁净利未的子孙，精炼他们像精炼金银那样；他们就必藉着公义向耶和华献供物。

凡是我所爱的，我都责备、管教。所以你应当热心，应当悔改。

我必转手对付你，如同用碱炼净你的渣滓，除尽你一切的杂质。我必恢复你的审判官，像起初一样；也必恢复你的谋士，如起始一般；之后，你必被称为‘公义之城’、‘忠信之城’。”
