Ezekiel 22:16-19

And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I {am} the LORD. {shalt take...: or, shalt be profaned} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 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. {dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
