Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water - Thy princes and people are degenerate in solid worth ("silver," ; ; Ezekiel 22:18), and in their use of the living Word ('the undiluted wine,' ).

Mixed - mahul; literally, circumcised (Talmud). So the Arabic to murder wine, for to dilute it. Like Moses, , "Circumcise the foreskin of your hearts," Isaiah glances at their tendency to rely on the outward circumcision, without the inward spirit, the true wine of the ordinance.
