King James Bible - Proverbs 17:3

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

World English Bible

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.

Douay-Rheims - Proverbs 17:3

As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord trieth the hearts.

Webster's Bible Translation

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

SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:3

¶ El crisol para la plata, y la hornaza para el oro; mas el SEÑOR prueba los corazones.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 17:3

Verse 3. The fining pot is for silver ] When silver is mixed, or suspected to be mixed, with base metal, it must be subjected to such a test as the cupel to purify it. And gold also must be purified by the action of the fire.

So God tries hearts. He sends afflictions which penetrate the soul, and give a man to see his state, so that he may apply to the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning, to destroy what cannot stand the fire, to separate and burn up all the dross.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 3 - God tries the heart by affliction. He thus has often shown the sin remaining in the heart of the believer.
