Proverbs 25:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. Take away the dross from the silver - You cannot have a pure silver vessel till you have purified the silver; and no nation can have a king a public blessing till the wicked - all bad counsellors, wicked and interested ministers, and sycophants - are banished from the court and cabinet. When the wise and good only are the king's ministers and advisers, then the throne will be established in righteousness, and his administration be a universal blessing.

4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
