Isaiah 1:25-27 And I will turn my hand on you, and purely purge away your dross, and take away all your tin:… "I will purge away thy dross." What is the dross? That which is openly flagrant in the life. It is different from the metal, and is comparatively easily separated from it. But God goes further. He says, "I will take sway all thy alloy." This is far more wonderful, because the alloy is something which enters into the nature of me metal, as is were, and it requires a chemical process to separate them. God says that He will deal not only with the outcrop of sin in act, but He will deal with the sin of which the act is the outcrop. (G. H. C. Macgregor, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:WEB: and I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin. |
