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.

The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart. (niv)

For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver. (niv)

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. (niv)

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. (niv)

They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. (niv)

Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:“ See, I will refine and test them, for what else can I do because of the sin of my people? (niv)

These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith— of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire— may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. (niv)

But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap.He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, (niv)

“ Son of man, the people of Israel have become dross to me; all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace. They are but the dross of silver.Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:‘ Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem.As silver, copper, iron, lead and tin are gathered into a furnace to be melted with a fiery blast, so will I gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you.I will gather you and I will blow on you with my fiery wrath, and you will be melted inside her.As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted inside her, and you will know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath on you.’” (niv)

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. (niv)

In the whole land,” declares the Lord,“ two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it.This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say,‘ They are my people,’ and they will say,‘ The Lord is our God.’” (niv)

I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities.I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.” (niv)

for they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out of Egypt, out of that iron-smelting furnace. (niv)

I will purge you of those who revolt and rebel against me. Although I will bring them out of the land where they are living, yet they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord. (niv)
