10 Quóniam probásti nos, Deus; *
igne nos examinásti, sicut examinátur argéntum.
11 Induxísti nos in láqueum, *
posuísti tribulatiónes in dorso nostro.
12 Imposuísti hómines super cápita nostra,
transívimus per ignem et aquam, *
et eduxísti nos in refrigérium.

10 For you have tested us, O Lord,
you have tried us by fire, as silver is tried.
11 You led us into the trap,
heaped tribulations upon us.
12 You set other men to rule over us –
but we passed through fire and water,
and you led us out to our rest.

(Psalm 66:10-12)

24 "Now therefore, brethren, let us set an example to our brethren,
for their lives depend upon us, and the sanctuary and the temple and the altar rest upon us.
25 In spite of everything let us give thanks to the Lord our God,
who is putting us to the test as he did our forefathers.
26 Remember what he did with Abraham,
and how he tested Isaac,
and what happened to Jacob in Mesopotamia in Syria,
while he was keeping the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
27 For he has not tried us with fire,
as he did them, to search their hearts,
nor has he taken revenge upon us;
but the Lord scourges those who draw near to him,
in order to admonish them."

(Judith 8:24-27)
