Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
I will: Jerusalem is here represented as the fining pot; all the people, who had become dross, are to be gathered together in it; and the fire of the Chaldeans, blown by the wrath of God, is to melt the whole. No ordinary means will avail to purge their impurities; the most violent must therefore be resorted to. Ezekiel 11:7, Ezekiel 24:3-6, Micah 4:12, Matthew 13:30, Matthew 13:40-42
Reciprocal: Jeremiah 6:30 - Reprobate silver Jeremiah 8:13 - I will surely consume Ezekiel 24:9 - I will
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, because ye are all become dross,.... King, princes, nobles, prophets, priests, as well as the common people; the apostasy was general, in city and country; scarcely any exceptions to be made:
therefore will I gather you into the midst of Jerusalem; from the several parts of the country, thinking they should be safe there, when the design of God by this providence was the destruction of them in it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The fifth word of judgment. The furnace. In the besieged city the people shall be tried and purged.
Ezekiel 22:18
Dross - A frequent metaphor which denotes not only the corruption of the people, who have become like base metal, but also a future purification whereby, the “dross” being burned away, the remnant of good may appear.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 22:19. I will gather you — Jerusalem is represented here as the fining pot; all the people are to be gathered together in it, and the Chaldean fire is to melt the whole. And God will increase thy sufferings: as the refiner blows the fire with his bellows, so God will blow upon you with the fire of his wrath, Ezekiel 22:21.
