Ezekiel 22:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel has become to Me scum and waste matter. All of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.

¹⁹ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become scum and waste matter, behold therefore, I will gather you [O Israel] into the midst of Jerusalem.
