4 Remove the dross from the silver,
and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,
and his throne will be established through righteousness.

煉銀有一種方法叫吹灰法,就是讓銀礦熔化成湯,雜質就會浮起來,然會用吹的方式,將雜質吹掉,就會留下銀,如此就可以將銀精煉出來!正如這裡所說:「除去銀子的渣滓就有銀子出來,銀匠能以做器皿。」
而作者把這個觀念延伸到王怎樣用人,所以盡接著說:「除去王面前的惡人,國位就靠公義堅立」。也因此,王權的建立要合乎上帝的公義,如此才能有永續的經營,讓國永遠堅立!
國是如此,教會也要如此經營,要靠著主的恩典除去罪惡的影響,教教會不只是地位上聖潔,也朝著真實的聖潔努力,好彰顯上帝的榮耀!
