TSK · Judges 3:1

For the Lorde thy God wyll put out these nations before thee by a litle and a litle: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beastes of the fielde increase vpon thee.

He fed thee in the wyldernesse with Manna, which thy fathers knewe not, euen for to humble thee, and to proue thee, and that he might so do thee good at thy latter ende,

I will hencefoorth not cast out before them one man of the nations whiche Iosuah left when he dyed:

And when the princes of Babylon sent vnto him ambassadours, to enquire of the wonder that chaunced in the lande, God left him, to trye him, and that all that was in his heart might be knowen.

As siluer is tryed in the fire, and golde in the furnace: so doth the Lorde proue the heartes.

Among all thynges, man hath the most deceiptfull and stubburne heart: Who shall then knowe it?

But Iesus dyd not commit hym selfe vnto them, because he knewe all men,

Dearely beloued, thinke it not straunge concerning the fierie triall, which thing is to trye you, as though some straunge thyng happened vnto you.
