I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities.

I will turn my power against you. I will make you completely‘ clean.’ I will remove everything that is not pure.

I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy.

I will raise my fist against you. I will melt you down and skim off your slag. I will remove all your impurities.

I will turn my hand against you and will burn away your dross completely; I will remove all your impurities.

I will also turn My hand against you, And smelt away your impurities as with lye; And I will remove all your slag.

I will turn My hand against you, And thoroughly purge away your dross, And take away all your alloy.

and I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin;

I will turn My hand against you and will burn away your dross completely; I will remove all your impurities.

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.

He will act like a refiner and purifier of silver and will cleanse the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will offer the LORD a proper offering.

I replied,“ How long, sovereign master?” He said,“ Until cities are in ruins and unpopulated, and houses are uninhabited, and the land is ruined and devastated,and the LORD has sent the people off to a distant place, and the very heart of the land is completely abandoned.Even if only a tenth of the people remain in the land, it will again be destroyed, like one of the large sacred trees or an Asherah pole, when a sacred pillar on a high place is thrown down. That sacred pillar symbolizes the special chosen family.”

Therefore the LORD who rules over all says,“ I will now purify them in the fires of affliction and test them. The wickedness of my dear people has left me no choice. What else can I do?

At that time the sovereign master will wash the excrement from Zion’s women, he will rinse the bloodstains from Jerusalem’s midst, as he comes to judge and to bring devastation.

In that day you will not be ashamed of all your rebelliousness against me, for then I will remove from your midst those who proudly boast, and you will never again be arrogant on my holy hill.

Your silver has become scum, your beer is diluted with water.

I will eliminate from among you the rebels and those who revolt against me. I will bring them out from the land where they have been residing, but they will not come to the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted in it, and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my anger on you.’”

The fiery bellows of judgment burn fiercely. But there is too much dross to be removed. The process of refining them has proved useless. The wicked have not been purged.

As silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin are gathered in a furnace so that the fire can melt them, so I will gather you in my anger and in my rage. I will deposit you there and melt you.

All those I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent!

His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clean out his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn up with inextinguishable fire.”

“ Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate,” says the LORD who rules over all. Strike the shepherd that the flock may be scattered; I will turn my hand against the insignificant ones.It will happen in all the land, says the LORD, that two-thirds of the people in it will be cut off and die, but one-third will be left in it.Then I will bring the remaining third into the fire; I will refine them like silver is refined and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name and I will answer; I will say,‘ These are my people,’ and they will say,‘ The LORD is my God.’”
