Isaiah 8:20

20 aTo the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no bdawn.

Isaiah 28:17

17And I will make justice cthe line,
and righteousness dthe plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”

Jeremiah 23:29

29 eIs not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and flike a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

Ezekiel 13:10-16

10Precisely because they have misled my people, gsaying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, hthese prophets smear it with whitewash, ▼
▼Or plaster; also verses 11, 14, 15
 11say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! jThere will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. 12And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ 13Therefore thus says the Lord God: kI will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, land there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. 14And 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, mand you shall know that I am the Lord. 15Thus 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, 16the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem nand saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God.

Zechariah 13:9

9And oI will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
pThey will call upon my name,
and qI will answer them.
rI will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

1 Peter 1:7

7so that sthe tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes tthough it is tested by ufire—may be found to result in vpraise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 4:12

Suffering as a Christian

12Beloved, do not be surprised at wthe fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
