“ Son of man, the people of Israel have become dross to me; all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace. They are but the dross of silver.

You skim off the wicked of the earth like scum; no wonder I love to obey your laws!

Once like pure silver, you have become like worthless slag. Once so pure, you are now like watered down wine.

They are the worst kind of rebel, full of slander. They are as hard as bronze and iron, and they lead others into corruption.The bellows fiercely fan the flames to burn out the corruption. But it does not purify them, for the wickedness remains.I will label them‘ Rejected Silver,’ for I, the Lord, am discarding them.”

I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.

Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart.

How the gold has lost its luster! Even the finest gold has become dull. The sacred gemstones lie scattered in the streets!See how the precious children of Jerusalem, worth their weight in fine gold, are now treated like pots of clay made by a common potter.

I will raise my fist against you. I will melt you down and skim off your slag. I will remove all your impurities.

For I know how stubborn and obstinate you are. Your necks are as unbending as iron. Your heads are as hard as bronze.

Just as silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin are melted down in a furnace, I will melt you down in the heat of my fury.

Even the strongest will quake with terror, and princes will flee when they see your battle flags,” says the Lord, whose fire burns in Zion, whose flame blazes from Jerusalem.
