Psalms 11:5 says that “the LORD tests the righteous,” and in Job 23:10, Job says of God, “When he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.” Similarly, God told Jeremiah, “I the LORD search the heart and test the mind”
10 aBring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby bput me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open cthe windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
9 when your fathers put me to the utest
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my vwork.
