14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong in the days that I shall deal with you? I the Lord have spoken and will do it.
15 I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you in the countries and consume your filthiness out of you.
16 You shall profane yourself in the sight of the nations, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
17 The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 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 midst of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you all have become dross, therefore, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 As they gather silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into the midst of a furnace to blow fire on it to melt it, so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will lay you there and melt you.
