“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”
King James Version (KJV)
48:10 Behold - Although I will not cut thee off, yet I will put thee into the furnace. Silver - Which is kept in the furnace so long 'till all the dross be purged away, I will not deal so rigorously with thee; for then I should wholly consume thee. I will chuse - God had in a manner rejected Israel, and therefore it was necessary he should chuse and try this people a second time.
Behold, I haue refined thee, but not with siluer; I haue chosen thee in the fornace of affliction.
