I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it. 15 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and disperse you in the countries, and will purge your filthiness out of you. 16 And you shall take your inheritance in yourself in the sight of the heathen, and you shall know that I am the LORD. 17 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to Me like dross: all of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20 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 My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you. 21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst. 22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; and you shall know that I the LORD have poured out My fury upon you.
