Ezekiel 22:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ And the word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁸ “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me; all of them, silver^[a] and bronze and tin and iron and lead in the furnace, have become dross. ¹⁹ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
