Ezekiel 22:22 Meaning and 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 destroyed, only purified, and made the better and brighter for their afflictions.

Ezekiel 22:22 In-Context

20 Just as silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin are collected and placed in a furnace to fan the flames under them and melt them down, so in my anger and rage I will collect you, put you in, and melt you down.

21 I will gather you, fan the flames of my wrath under you, and melt you down in the middle of it.

22 As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted in it. You will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my rage on you.

23 The LORD's word came to me:

24 Human one, say to her, You are an unclean land without rain on the day of reckoning.
