Ezekiel 22:14-18

Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong for the days that I will deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken and will act.

And I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you among the lands, and I will eliminate your uncleanness from you.

Then you will defile yourself in the sight of the nations, and you will know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

“Son of man, the house of Israel has become waste metal to Me; all of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the smelting furnace; they are the waste metal of silver.
