29 The bellows+ have been scorched.* Out from their fire there is lead.+ One has kept refining intensely simply for nothing, and those who are bad have not been separated.+

7 Therefore this is what Jehovah of armies has said: “Here I am smelting them, and I have to examine them,+ because how otherwise shall I act on account of the daughter of my people?+

3 And he must sit as a refiner and cleanser of silver+ and must cleanse the sons of Leʹvi;*+ and he must clarify them like gold+ and like silver, and they will certainly become to Jehovah people presenting a gift offering+ in righteousness.
