2 Esdras 16:74

74 In that time, the genuine commitment of my chosen ones will be shown, as gold that is tested by fire.

2 Esdras 16:74 In-Context

72 People will be like maniacs on account of their own distress. They will spare no one, seeking to plunder and destroy those who still fear the Lord.

73 They will destroy and rob their possessions and throw them out of their own homes.

74 In that time, the genuine commitment of my chosen ones will be shown, as gold that is tested by fire.

75 Listen, my chosen ones, says the Lord, the days of distress are at hand, and I will deliver you from these.

76 Don't fear or hesitate, for God is your leader.
