Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 1:25

_ _ turn ... hand — not in wrath, but in grace (Zechariah 13:7), “upon thee,” as Isaiah 1:26, Isaiah 1:27 show; contrasted with the enemies, of whom He will avenge Himself (Isaiah 1:24).

_ _ purely — literally, “as alkali purifies.”

_ _ thy dross — not thy sins, but the sinful persons (Jeremiah 6:29); “enemies” (Isaiah 1:24); degenerate princes (see on Isaiah 1:22), intermingled with the elect “remnant” of grace.

_ _ tinHebrew, bedil, here the alloy of lead, tin, etc., separated by smelting from the silver. The pious Bishop Bedell took his motto from this.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 1:21-31.
