Ezekiel 24:6-14

6 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^pWoe to the bloody city, to ^qthe pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice. ^{▼▼Hebrew no lot has fallen upon it} 7 For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on ^sthe bare rock; ^tshe did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! ^uI also will make the pile great. 10 Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices, ^{▼▼Or empty out the broth} and let the bones be burned up. 11 Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, ^wthat its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. 12 ^xShe has wearied herself with toil; ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain} its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13 On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, ^zyou shall not be cleansed anymore till ^aaI have satisfied my fury upon you. 14 ^abI am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; ^acI will not spare; ^adI will not relent; ^aeaccording to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.”

Zechariah 13:9

9 And ^afI will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
^agThey will call upon my name,
and ^ahI will answer them.
^aiI will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

Malachi 3:3

3 He will sit ^ajas a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring ^akofferings in righteousness to the Lord. ^{▼▼Or and they will belong to the Lord, bringers of an offering in righteousness}
