Isaiah is a long and diverse book with purification as a central theme. In the first part of the book, the people are refusing to cleanse themselves as God instructed in the Torah. They are willfully disobedient and show little interest in repentance. 

Because of this resistance, God will prescribe a more extreme purifying method—fire. This fire will consume the land. Israel’s past blessings will be reduced to ashes. In the second part of the book, the sun-scorched lands will be hydrated and renewed. The people will rise out of devastation and enter a watered garden. They will return to washing with water. But before they do, the basin of purification will be filled with a refiners fire. 

Therefore the LORD declares . . .
I will turn my hand against you
    and will smelt away your dross as with lye . . .
And the strong shall become tinder,
    and his work a spark,
and both of them shall burn together,
    with none to quench them. 
Isaiah 1:24-25, 31 ESV
