Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 22:18

_ _ dross ... brass — Israel has become a worthless compound of the dross of silver (implying not merely corruption, but degeneracy from good to bad, Isaiah 1:22, especially offensive) and of the baser metals. Hence the people must be thrown into the furnace of judgment, that the bad may be consumed, and the good separated (Jeremiah 6:29, Jeremiah 6:30).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 22:17-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 22:18

Dross — Utterly degenerate, and base metal. The furnace — The afflictions I have laid upon them have not bettered them. The dross — While they loved mercy, did justly, walked humbly with their God, they were as silver; now they are but dross.
