Commentary on Isaiah (420)

(Verse 25) And I will turn my hand against you; and I will thoroughly purge away your dross and take away all your alloy. Regarding the dross, which Symmachus interpreted as 'στέμφυλα' (clusters of grapes), Aquila as 'γιγαρτῶδες' (bunch of grapes), and Theodotion as 'acinum uvae' (grape kernel), the Septuagint alone, translating more the sense than the words, understood it as 'unbelievers' or 'disobedient ones'.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

And I will turn my hand upon thee - This expression is capable of two significations. The hand may be stretched out for two purposes, either to inflict punishment, or to afford help and protection. The phrase here refers evidently to the latter, to the act of redeeming and restoring his people, Isa 1:26-27. The idea may be thus expressed: ‘I will stretch out my hand to punish my enemies Isa 1:24, and will turn my hand upon thee for protection, and recovery.’ Purge away - This refers to the process of smelting, or purifying metals in the fire.
