Clarke's Commentary on the BibleThe 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. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Proverbs 27:21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. Psalm 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. Psalm 66:10 For you, O God, have proved us: you have tried us, as silver is tried. Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction. Jeremiah 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Zechariah 13:9 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... Malachi 3:2,3 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap... 1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire... Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts... Proverbs 17:3 Parallel Commentaries
