This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_1:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
Ver. 25. And I will turn my hand upon thee.] So Zec_13:7, I will turn my hand upon the little ones; so soon doth it repent the Lord concerning his servants. Here he mitigateth the former fearful menace, and promiseth a reformation.
And purely purge away thy dross.] Et expurgabo, ut purificativum, scorias tuas. The wicked are the dross of the state, {Psa_119:119} and wickedness is the dross and dregs of the soul. {Pro_17:3; Pro_27:21} God promiseth her to purge out both, to separate the precious from the vile, to reform and refine all - a metaphor from metallaries.
And I will take away all thy tin.] Thine hypocrisy: for tin hath a show of silver, but it is not so - nay, it is a deadly enemy to gold and silver, saith one, {a} making them hard and brittle. It is also a tyrant over them, and will hardly be separated from them. Hereby are figured your most noted, rooted, and inveterate sins.
{a} Diod.
