Treasury of Scripture Knowledge references in NET.
Remember the whole way by which he has brought you these forty years through the wilderness so that he might, by humbling you, test you to see if you have it within you to keep his commandments or not.
I know, my God, that you examine thoughts and are pleased with integrity. With pure motives I contribute all this; and now I look with joy as your people who have gathered here contribute to you.
III. Job’s Search for Wisdom(28:1-28)No Known Road to Wisdom“Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is refined.
For you, O God, tested us; you purified us like refined silver.
All of a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion, but the LORD evaluates his thoughts.
Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of misery.
Then I will bring the remaining third into the fire; I will refine them like silver is refined and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name and I will answer; I will say,‘These are my people,’ and they will say,‘The LORD is my God.’”
Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold– gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away– and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
