Ezekiel 22:17-19

Modern English Version

Jerusalem as God’s Furnace

¹⁷ The word of the Lord came to me, saying: ¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me. All of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead in the midst of the furnace. They are the dross of silver. ¹⁹ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you all have become dross, therefore, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
