""Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction."
— Isaiah 48:10, NASB
“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”
“Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. ”
“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you 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 thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty.”
“See, I have been testing you for myself like silver; I have put you through the fire of trouble.”
“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”
"They are created now and not long ago; And before today you have not heard them, So that you will not say, 'Behold, I knew them.'
"You have not heard, you have not known. Even from long ago your ear has not been open, Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously; And you have been called a rebel from birth.
"For the sake of My name I delay My wrath, And for My praise I restrain it for you, In order not to cut you off.
"Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
"For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act; For how can My name be profaned? And My glory I will not give to another.
"Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.
"Surely My hand founded the earth, And My right hand spread out the heavens; When I call to them, they stand together.
