Ezekiel 22:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

These verses are an ingeminating of the same menaces, the more to affect the Jews with fear, and due apprehensions of their danger, and make them think of returning to God. As silver is melted: this seems to intimate the Divine care over some few, that in the midst of the rest were precious, and God would purify, not destroy them. Ye shall know; see, own, and submit to God's afflicting hand, and comply with him, putting away your dross. Have poured out my fury upon you, promiscuously with others, among which you have suffered the same outward troubles, though the end be different, which intimates the escape of a remnant.
