Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

(Some words not found in UHB: blow_fiercely bellows by,fire, lead in_the,vain he_refines to_refine and,wicked not removed )
The fire is so hot that it burns the bellows. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. This very hot fire represents God’s judgment. Alternate translation: “The fire is so hot that it scorches the bellows” or “The punishment is so severe that it is like a fire that even burns the bellows” (See also: figs-activepassive)

(Some words not found in UHB: blow_fiercely bellows by,fire, lead in_the,vain he_refines to_refine and,wicked not removed )
The silver has so many impurities in it that the lead is used up before it can remove them all. This represents the people of Israel being so full of sin, that they continue to sin even after God punishes them. Alternate translation: “the silver is so full of impurities, that the lead that is used to remove them is used up” or “they are like silver that is so full of impurities that the lead cannot remove them all” (See also: figs-metaphor)
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) The refining continues among them
(Some words not found in UHB: blow_fiercely bellows by,fire, lead in_the,vain he_refines to_refine and,wicked not removed )

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) because the evil is not removed
(Some words not found in UHB: blow_fiercely bellows by,fire, lead in_the,vain he_refines to_refine and,wicked not removed )
God speaks of Israel continuing to be evil as if they were silver and the impurities remained in the silver.
