New Testament

Ezekiel 22:13-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. “Now look, I clap My hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.

14. Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the days when I deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken, and I will act.

15. I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you among the countries; I will purge your uncleanness.

16. You will be profaned in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”

17. The word of the Lord came to me:

18. “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me. All of them are copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are the dross of silver.

19. Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Because all of you have become dross, I am about to gather you into Jerusalem.

20. Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to blow fire on them and melt them, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, put you inside, and melt you.
