- Psalms 119:119
All the wicked on earth You discard like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies.
Commentary on Psalms 119:1191 voice
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross,.... Which is of no worth and value, useless and unprofitable; which is cast into the fire, and separated from the choice metal.

- Proverbs 25:4
Remove the dross from the silver, and a vessel for a silversmith will come forth.
Commentary on Proverbs 25:41 voice
Remove the dross from the silver, etc. Remove the surface of the letter from the sacred word, and you will find the purest meaning hidden by the subtlety of the letter, and spiritual mysteries were concealed under the figures of carnal ceremonies.
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
- Proverbs 26:23
Like glaze covering an earthen vessel are burning lips and a wicked heart.
Commentary on Proverbs 26:231 voice
Burning lips, and a wicked heart,.... Either burning with wrath and malice; breathing out threatenings and slaughter; pursuing men with reproaches and slanders, arising from a wicked heart: or rather, burning with profession of love to God, and affection to good men; with great pretensions of kindness, and promises of good things, when their hearts are wicked, and they design noticing less; say one thing with their lips, with the greatest show of affection and sincerity, and mean another in their hearts.

Your silver has become dross; your fine wine is diluted with water.
Commentary on Isaiah 1:222 voices
Thy silver is become dross,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Someone who looks at what is done divinely by the Word and denies the body, or looks at what is proper to the body and denies the Word's presence in the flesh or from what is human, entertains low thoughts concerning the Word … as a Jewish vintner, mixing water with the wine, shall account the cross an offense, or as a Gentile, will deem the preaching folly.
Athanasius of Alexandria· Discourses Against the Arians 3.26, 373Patristic

All of them, copper, tin, iron, and lead, are in the midst of the furnace; they have become silver dross. Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become like dross, behold, I will gather you in the midst of Jerusalem as a gathering of silver, copper, iron, tin, and lead in the midst of the furnace, to kindle a fire in it for melting.

(Vers. 17 seqq.) And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, the house of Israel has become like dross to me.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, because ye are all become dross,.... King, princes, nobles, prophets, priests, as well as the common people; the apostasy was general, in city and country; scarcely any exceptions to be made: therefore will I gather you into the midst of Jerusalem; from the several parts of the country, thinking they should be safe there, when the design of God by this providence was the destruction of them in it.
