The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psalms 12:6 (NAS)
The words of the LORD are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.
Psalms 12:6 (NIVUS)
And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.
Psalms 12:6 (NLT)
The LORD’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over.
When you think of a commandment, do you imagine that it is something difficult and hard to carry out? Do you see Adonai's commands as a list of do's and don’ts that He makes to curtail your freedom? If this is how you think, then you should revamp those thought patterns.
The words of Jehovah the Lord are the most important words that you will ever hear. Even though what Adonai says may challenge you, there is nothing wrong or evil in His words; they are only pure, clean, and fair. His sounds are bright and uncontaminated and will cause you no harm. The Lord your God is holy and His speech is meant solely to purge and purify you. From His desire to commune with you, God sends you His word and gives you precious promises.
Adonai's pure words come with the purpose to refine you like silver. God sees you as valuable and precious and He desires that you become the best that you can be. He is your founder and has cast you in a certain mold. Because He wants to complete and perfect you in every way, He works with you, like a metal smith casts and tries gold and silver. Looking for your purity, He will often seemingly put you in the furnace to burn away any impurities. He is not abusing you, but bringing about a wonderful work in your life. His goal is that you become more like Him in every way. He, therefore, clarifies, strains, and extracts all that is not of His nature. Even if He has to repeat this process seven times, Adonai will continue working with you until you are full and complete. You will then come forth as fine grade gold or silver.
