Ezekiel 22:19-21

19 Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘Because all of you ^{▼▼ The Hebrew second person pronoun is masculine plural here and in vv. 19b–21, indicating that the people are being addressed.} have become slag, look out! – I am about to gather you in the middle of Jerusalem. ^{▼▼ For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; Journey of Paul map 1-F4; Journey of Paul map 2-F4; Journey of Paul map 3-F4; Journey of Paul map 4-F4.} 20 As silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin are gathered in a furnace so that the fire can melt them, so I will gather you in my anger and in my rage. I will deposit you there ^{▼▼ Heb “I will put.” No object is supplied in the Hebrew, prompting many to emend the text to “I will blow.” See BHS and verse 21.} and melt you. 21 I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in it.
