Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water.

Jerusalem, your silver isn’t pure anymore. Your best wine has been made weak with water.

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

Your silver has become dross to be discarded, your beer is diluted with water.

Your silver has become waste matter, Your drink diluted with water.

Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.

Your silver has become dross, your beer is diluted with water.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

Your silver has become scum, your beer is diluted with water.

Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.

“ Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me; all of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead in the furnace; they are dross of silver.Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.As one gathers silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into a furnace, to blow the fire on it in order to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will put you in and melt you.I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst of it.As silver is melted in a furnace, so you shall be melted in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am the Lord; I have poured out my wrath upon you.”

How the gold has grown dim, how the pure gold is changed! The holy stones lie scattered at the head of every street.The precious sons of Zion, worth their weight in fine gold, how they are regarded as earthen pots, the work of a potter’s hands!

When their drink is gone, they give themselves to whoring; their rulers dearly love shame.

They are all stubbornly rebellious, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron; all of them act corruptly.The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed by the fire; in vain the refining goes on, for the wicked are not removed.Rejected silver they are called, for the Lord has rejected them.”

For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.
