I will bring the third part through the fire; that part that is preserved shall be brought into afflictions, hot as fire. And will refine them as silver is refined; these afflictions shall purify them, and so better them, as silver and gold are bettered by the furnace, made fitter to be vessels of honour. They shall call on my name; pray to me, and own me for their God. I will hear; I will answer them, and own them for my people, my purified people, &c.
