Wisdom 3:6

6 As gold in the furnace hath He tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.

Wisdom 3:6 In-Context

4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded; for God proved them, and found them worthy for Himself.

6 As gold in the furnace hath He tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.

7 And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

8 They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people; and their Lord shall reign for ever.
