⁹ Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

⁴ The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

⁵ The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

¹⁰ For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

¹⁸ And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

¹⁰ But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

¹⁰ I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

³ The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.

¹⁰ Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

¹⁰ Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

⁹ And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
