Isaiah 48:10
Douay-Rheims
Behold I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty.
Rashi
but not as silver [lit. but not with silver.] Not with the fire of Gehinnom, as silver is refined through fire. I have chosen for you Heb. בְּחַרְתִּיךָ. I have chosen for you the crucible of poverty as opposed to the crucible of fire. A crucible (כּוּר) is a vessel in which they melt silver and gold.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
