The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but people are tested by their praise.

Fire tests silver, and heat tests gold. But people are tested by the praise they receive.

The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.

Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised.

As a crucible refines silver, and a smelter refines gold, so a person should refine his praise.

The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, And a man is valued by what others say of him.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise.

A crucible for silver, and a smelter for gold, and a man for the words of his praise.

[ As] the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so[ is] a man to his praise.

As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, so a person is proved by the praise he receives.

The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.

鼎炼银，炉炼金，耶和华试炼人心。

在整个以色列，没有人像押沙龙那样因相貌英俊而为人称道，他从头到脚毫无瑕疵。

这样，你们的信心经过试验便显明是真实的，比那经过火炼仍会坏掉的金子更加宝贵，使你们可以在耶稣基督显现时得到称赞、荣耀和尊贵。

我必使这三分之一的人受到火一般的考验；我必像熬炼银子一样熬炼他们，像试炼金子一样试炼他们。他们必呼求我的名，我必回应他们。我必说，‘这是我的子民。’他们必说，‘耶和华是我们的上帝。’”

她们跳舞歌唱：“扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万。”扫罗听了非常愤怒，说：“她们将万万归功给大卫，将千千归功给我，只剩我的王位没有给他了！”

祂要坐下来，像炼净银子的人那样洁净利未的子孙，像熬炼金银一样熬炼他们，使他们凭公义向耶和华献祭。

押沙龙这样对待每一个来向王申诉的以色列人，赢得了民心。过了四年，押沙龙对王说：“请让我到希伯仑去还我向耶和华许下的愿吧。仆人住在亚兰的基述时曾许愿，如果耶和华带领我回到耶路撒冷，我必在希伯仑敬拜祂。”王说：“你平安地去吧！”押沙龙就去了希伯仑。他派密使通知以色列各支派一听见号角的响声，便喊：“押沙龙在希伯仑做王了！”有二百人应邀随同押沙龙一起从耶路撒冷去希伯仑，他们对内情一无所知。押沙龙献祭的时候，还派人去把大卫的谋士亚希多弗从他的故乡基罗请来。反叛的势力大增，拥护押沙龙的民众越来越多。

上帝啊，你试验我们，熬炼我们如熬炼银子。

扫罗看见大卫做事精明，就惧怕他。以色列人和犹大人都爱戴他，因为他带领他们作战。

非利士人的将领常来进犯，大卫每次作战总比扫罗的其他臣仆出色，因而倍受尊重。

亲爱的弟兄姊妹，若有火一般的试炼临到你们，不要觉得奇怪，以为发生了什么不寻常的事，

耶和华的应许纯全，就像在炉中炼过七次的银子。
