and you shall examine my people carefully.
Test them so you may see
how their paths/ways are.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The LORD said to me, ‘I have-made you (plur.) as-if a tester of metals so-that you (plur.) can test the ways of my people.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

‘Jeremiah, I have caused you to become like someone who heats metal very hot to completely burn the impurities.
You will examine my people’s behavior.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
