Matthew on Proverbs 17:3

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. Note, 1. The hearts of the children of men are subject, not only to God's view, but to his judgment: As the fining-pot is for silver, both to prove it and to improve it so the Lord tries the hearts; he searches whether they are standard or no, and those that are he refines and makes purer, Jeremiah 17:10 . God tries the heart by affliction ( Psalms 66:10 ; Psalms 66:11 ), and often chooses his people in that furnace ( Isaiah 48:10 ) and makes them choice. 2. It is God only that tries the hearts. Men may try their silver and gold with the fining-pot and the furnace, but they have no such way of trying one another's hearts; God only does that, who is both the searcher and the sovereign of the heart. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
