Ezekiel 22:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross in my eyes; all of them are nothing more than copper and tin, iron and lead, that have become dross in the midst of a furnace.

¹⁹ Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because all of you have become dross, I will gather you together inside Jerusalem. ²⁰ As one gathers silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin and smelts it in a blazing furnace, so I will gather you in my furious wrath and cause you to be melted down.
