Isaiah 48:10
_ _ (See on Isaiah 1:25).
_ _ with silver — rather, “for silver.” I sought by affliction to purify thee, but thou wast not as silver obtained by melting, but as dross [Gesenius]. Thy repentance is not complete: thou art not yet as refined silver. Rosenmuller explains, “not as silver,” not with the intense heat needed to melt silver (it being harder to melt than gold), that is, not with the most extreme severity. The former view is better (Isaiah 1:25; Isaiah 42:25; Ezekiel 22:18-20, Ezekiel 22:22).
_ _ chosen — or else [Lowth], tried ... proved: according to Gesenius, literally, “to rub with the touchstone,” or to cut in pieces so as to examine (Zechariah 13:9; Malachi 3:3; 1 Peter 1:7). |
Isaiah 48:10
Behold — Although I will not cut thee off, yet I will put thee into the furnace. Silver — Which is kept in the furnace so long 'till all the dross be purged away, I will not deal so rigorously with thee; for then I should wholly consume thee. I will chuse — God had in a manner rejected Israel, and therefore it was necessary he should chuse and try this people a second time. |
Isaiah 48:10
Behold, I have refined thee, but (l) not with silver; I have (m) chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
(l) For I had respect to your weakness and infirmity: for in silver there is some pureness, but in us there is nothing but dross.
(m) I took you out of the furnace where you would have been consumed. |
