<p class="poetry">As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">so a person<n id="2" /> is proved<n id="3" /> by the praise he receives.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Who can endure the day of his coming? Who can keep standing when he appears? For he will be like a refiner&#8217;s fire,<n id="1" /> like a launderer&#8217;s soap.

He will act like a refiner and purifier of silver and will cleanse the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will offer the <sc>Lordsc> a proper offering.
