Jeremiah 11:4 - Exposition
From the iron furnace ; rather, out of the iron furnace . It is Egypt which is thus described (comp. Deuteronomy 4:20 ; 1 Kings 8:51 ). The oppression in Egypt was like the furnace in which iron is rendered malleable by heat (so Isaiah 48:10 , "I have tested thee in the furnace of affliction").
