11 say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! ^aThere will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. 12 And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ 13 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^bI will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, ^cand there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. 14 And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you shall perish in the midst of it, ^dand you shall know that I am the Lord. 15 Thus will I spend my wrath upon the wall and upon those who have smeared it with whitewash, and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who smeared it, 16 the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem ^eand saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God.

Malachi 3:3

3 He will sit ^fas a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring ^gofferings in righteousness to the Lord. ^{▼▼Or and they will belong to the Lord, bringers of an offering in righteousness}

1 Corinthians 3:13-15

13 ^meach one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed ⁿby fire, and ^othe fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ^phe will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, ^qbut only as through fire.
