Psalm 11:5

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

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: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my ...

Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.

Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
