Ezekiel 22:22

22 and you will melt like silver in fierce heat. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my fury on you.’”

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 melted down in a furnace, I will melt you down in the heat of my fury.

21 I will gather you together and blow the fire of my anger upon you,

22 and you will melt like silver in fierce heat. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my fury on you.’”

23 Again a message came to me from the LORD :

24 “Son of man, give the people of Israel this message: In the day of my indignation, you will be like a polluted land, a land without rain.
