The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; But Jehovah trieth the hearts.
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: But the LORD trieth the hearts.
The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tries the hearts. [Ps. 26:2; Prov. 27:21; Jer. 17:10; Mal. 3:3.]
A crucible is for silver and a furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.
Just as silver is tested by fire, and gold is tested in the furnace, so also does the Lord test hearts.
