耶和華又諭基甸曰、民猶過眾、導至水濱、我將為爾試之、所言可偕爾往者、則偕往、不可偕爾往者、則不偕往、

But the Lord said to Gideon,“ There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will thin them out for you there. If I say,‘ This one shall go with you,’ he shall go; but if I say,‘ This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”

The Lord said to Gideon,“ There are still too many men. So take them down to the water. There I will reduce the number of them for you. If I say,‘ This one will go with you,’ he will go. But if I say,‘ That one will not go with you,’ he will not go.”

And the Lord said to Gideon,“ The people are still too many. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there, and anyone of whom I say to you,‘ This one shall go with you,’ shall go with you, and anyone of whom I say to you,‘ This one shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”

But the Lord told Gideon,“ There are still too many! Bring them down to the spring, and I will test them to determine who will go with you and who will not.”

Then the LORD said to Gideon,“ There are still too many troops. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. If I say to you,‘ This one can go with you,’ he can go. But if I say about anyone,‘ This one cannot go with you,’ he cannot go.”

Then the Lord said to Gideon,“ The people are still too many; bring them down to the water and I will test them for you there. So it shall be that he of whom I say to you,‘ This one shall go with you,’ he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you,‘ This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”

But the Lord said to Gideon,“ The people are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. Then it will be, that of whom I say to you,‘ This one shall go with you,’ the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you,‘ This one shall not go with you,’ the same shall not go.”

And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

The LORD spoke to Gideon again,“ There are still too many men. Bring them down to the water and I will thin the ranks some more. When I say,‘ This one should go with you,’ pick him to go; when I say,‘ This one should not go with you,’ do not take him.”

君王不能因兵多得勝；勇士不能因力大得救。

然而他知道我所行的路；他試煉我之後，我必如精金。

我使你在我民中為高臺，為保障，使你知道試驗他們的行動。他們都是極悖逆的，往來讒謗人。他們是銅是鐵，都行壞事。風箱吹火，鉛被燒毀；他們煉而又煉，終是徒然；因為惡劣的還未除掉。人必稱他們為被棄的銀渣，因為耶和華已經棄掉他們。

願惡人的惡斷絕！願你堅立義人！因為公義的神察驗人的心腸肺腑。

這些事以後，神要試驗亞伯拉罕，就呼叫他說：「亞伯拉罕！」他說：「我在這裏。」

神啊，你曾試驗我們，熬煉我們，如熬煉銀子一樣。

他來的日子，誰能當得起呢？他顯現的時候，誰能立得住呢？因為他如煉金之人的火，如漂布之人的鹼。他必坐下如煉淨銀子的，必潔淨利未人，熬煉他們像金銀一樣；他們就憑公義獻供物給耶和華。

耶和華卻對撒母耳說：「不要看他的外貌和他身材高大，我不揀選他。因為，耶和華不像人看人：人是看外貌；耶和華是看內心。」

約拿單對拿兵器的少年人說：「我們不如過到未受割禮人的防營那裏去，或者耶和華為我們施展能力；因為耶和華使人得勝，不在乎人多人少。」
