Ezekiel 22:18-22

18 aSon of man, the house of Israel has become bdross to me; all of them are cbronze and tin and iron and lead in the furnace; they are ddross of silver. 19Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20As one gathers silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into a furnace, eto blow the fire on it in order to melt it, so I will gather you fin my anger and in my wrath, and I will put you in and melt you. 21I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst of it. 22As silver is melted in a furnace, so you shall be melted in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am the Lord; gI have poured out my wrath upon you.”
