Israel in the Furnace

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

18 “Son of man, ^athe house of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of a ^bfurnace; they have become dross from silver.

19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

20 As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to ^amelt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.

21 Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.

22 As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have ^apoured out My fury on you.’ ”

Israel’s Wicked Leaders

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