EZEKIEL 22

GOD WILL REFINE ISRAEL LIKE SILVER

Because of the intense murder and violence that takes place within Judah, God refers to Jerusalem as the bloody city. Judah has committed abominable sins, and their appointed time of destruction is near. Soon, they will become a mockery among the nations.

God addresses Judah as dross, the impurities of silver separated in the process of melting. God will separate the debris from Israel and refine those who follow His commands.

If there are righteous people in Jerusalem, God will spare them, but there are none to be found.
