Ezekiel 22:17 In-Context

15 I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you throughout the lands, and so I will remove your uncleanness from you.

16 When you are degraded like this in the sight of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.

17 The LORD's word came to me:

18 Human one, the house of Israel has become a waste product for me. They are all copper, tin, iron, and lead. In the furnace, they've become the waste product of silver.

19 So this is what the LORD God says: Because you've all become a waste product, I'm now gathering you into the middle of Jerusalem.
