Ezekiel 22:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:22

As silver is melted in the furnace, so shall ye be melted in

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.
