Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - The words of the Lord are pure words. There is no base alloy in them: therefore they may be trusted. What God promises, he will perform. As silver tried in a furnace of earth; rather, perhaps, silver assayed in a crucible on earth (Kay). Purified seven times (comp. Psalm 18:30; Psalm 19:8; Psalm 119:140; Proverbs 30:5).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) As silver.--This solemn promise of Jehovah may be relied on, for His words are not like those of deceitful men--alloyed with self and falsehood--but are pure as silver seven times smelted.In a furnace.--Either a "workshop" or a "crucible," according as derived.Of earth.--These words are difficult; they must mean either in earth, referring to the ashes in which the smelted silver falls, or as to earth, i.e., as to the alloy, or as we say, purified of the alloy.But erets is never else used for the material, earth, and Hitzig's emendation, rats = bar, or piece (Psalm 68:30), "melted into a bar from the crucible," is almost convincing in its simplicity and aptness.
