Isaiah 48:10

Context

48:10 Look, I have refined you, but not as silver;

I have purified you 1  in the furnace of misery.

1 tc The Hebrew text has בְּחַרְתִּיךָ (bÿkhartikha, “I have chosen you”), but the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa reads correctly בחנתיכה (“I have tested you”). The metallurgical background of the imagery suggests that purification through testing is the idea.
