²⁸ They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

³⁰ Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.

¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.

¹⁹ Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
