And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.(Ezekiel 22:15)

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.(Ezekiel 22:18)
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.(Ezekiel 22:19)
As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.(Ezekiel 22:20)
