But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
