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

¹⁷ My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

²² Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

¹¹⁹ Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

²⁵ And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

11 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

¹³ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

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.

²² But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

¹⁹ Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
