에스겔 22:21-22 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 22:17-22

The same melancholy string is still harped upon, and various turns are given it, to make it affecting, that it may be influencing. The prophet must here show, or at least it is here shown him, that the whole house of Israel has become as dross and that as dross they shall be consumed. What David has said concerning the wicked ones of the world is here said concerning the wicked ones of the church, now that it is corrupt and degenerate (Ps. 119:119): Thou puttest away all the wicked of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 22:21

Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath ,.... Not only gather them in wrath, as before; but blow upon them in wrath, which is often compared to fire in Scripture; and besides, the city and temple of Jerusalem were to be burnt, and were burnt with material fire, in consequence of God's displeasure against his people: and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof ; of the city of Jerusalem; be destroyed by one judgment or another in it; or perish in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 22:22

As silver is melted in the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof ,.... This is repeated for the greater confirmation of it; and the people might assure themselves that it would verily be, as was threatened: and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my fury upon you ; feel it upon them; be sensible of it, and acknowledge it; and that it is the Lord's doings, and righteously done; these are they who are meant by the silver, who, though cast into the furnace, were not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 22:13-22

The dross in the furnace. God's mercy and kindness scarcely anywhere appear more manifest than in his method of dealing with his erring people, whom he subjects to chastening and discipline with the view of purging away their faults. The figure employed by Ezekiel in this passage occurs in other of the prophetic writings. There is some obscurity in his expression; for it seems as if, to convey the fullness of his meaning, he represents the people first as dross, and then as the metal from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 22:17-22

The smelting furnace. For every material thing there is a test. We may know metals by their action under chemical agents, or by the furnace-flame. We can test gases by their power to sustain life or to sustain flame. We can test dynamical forces by electricity or by their power to create motion. So for human character there is a crucial test. I. ADULTERATED METAL . The seed of Israel had sadly degenerated. They had been, compared with other people, as silver and gold. Now they... read more

Deplorable deterioration and deserved destruction. "And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross," etc. Notice— I. THE DEPLORABLE DETERIORATION OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL . 1. Here are several varieties of sinful character . We will notice them as they are here adduced. 2. Here is one characteristic which marks each of these varieties of sinful character . They were each and all marked by degeneracy. In... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 22:18-22

Dross. I. THE NATURE OF THE DROSS . Israel is compared to dross. The nation should have been God's precious metal, pure white silver. By sin it has become base metal. 1. Dross is an inferior substance . Characters are deteriorated by sin. Wickedness lowers the very nature of a man. We cannot commit sin and still keep our persons in primitive worth and dignity. We are either exalted or degraded by our deeds; they react upon our very being and assimilate it to themselves.... read more

The fifth word of judgment. The furnace. In the besieged city the people shall be tried and purged.Ezekiel 22:18Dross - 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. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 22:18-22

Ezekiel 22:18-22. The house of Israel is to me become dross “Their filthiness may be fitly compared to the mixture of dross and baser metals with the pure silver: and as that is purified by being melted in a furnace or crucible, so Jerusalem, when it is set on fire, shall be the furnace into which I will cast them and their wickedness to be consumed: compare Jeremiah 6:28-30. God’s severe judgments are expressed by the furnace of affliction, (Isaiah 48:10,) and compared to a refiner’s... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-31

National decay (22:1-31)With Jerusalem’s end approaching, God again told Ezekiel to show the city its sins and the humiliating judgment that these sins would bring upon it (22:1-5). Powerful people exploited others, without any respect for the laws of God or the dignity of their fellow human beings (6-8). The corrupt city was characterized by lies, violence, idolatry, bribery, oppression and sexual sins of the worse kind (9-12). God warned that in punishment for its wickedness, he would destroy... read more
