(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers here,I [am]_about_of,to_refine_them and,I,will_test_them that/for/because/then/when what do from=face/in_front_of daughter_of my_people_of,my )

Yahweh uses this rhetorical question to state that this is how he needs to deal with his people because of what they have done.
