Ezekiel 22:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:15

by destroying some filthy persons, and reforming others; by bringing them by means of those afflictions to a sense of their sins, and to forsake them; and so would be refined as silver from its dross in a furnace: it may have a particular reference to their idolatry, that filthy sin, which they were cured of, and purged from, by their captivity, and to which they returned no more.

15 Je te disperserai parmi les nations; je te disséminerai en divers pays, et je ferai disparaître la souillure du milieu de toi.
16 Alors tu seras avilie par toi-même, aux yeux des nations, et tu sauras que je suis l'Éternel.
17 La parole de l'Éternel me fut adressée en ces mots:
