Ezekiel 22:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁷ The word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁸ Mortal, the house of Israel has become dross to me; all of them, silver,^[a] bronze, tin, iron, and lead. In the smelter they have become dross. ¹⁹ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
