Ezekiel 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:19

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, because ye are all become
dross
King, princes, nobles, prophets, priests, as well as the common people; the apostasy was general, in city and country; scarcely any exceptions to be made: therefore will I gather you into the midst of Jerusalem;
from the several parts of the country, thinking they should be safe there, when the design of God by this providence was the destruction of them in it.

Ezekiel 22:19 In-Context

17 Then 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 copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are but the dross of silver.

19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.

20 Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to melt with a fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you there, and melt you.

21 Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted within the city.
