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 LORD spoke his word to me. He said,

18 "Son of man, the people of Israel have become worthless to me. All of them are like copper, tin, iron, and lead in a smelting furnace. They are like the impurities left from silver.

19 This is what the Almighty LORD says: All of you have become worthless. That is why I'm going to gather you in Jerusalem.

20 People gather silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin together in a smelting furnace to melt them with a fiery blast. In the same way, in my anger and fury I will gather you and put you in the city. I will melt you there.

21 Yes, I will gather you, breathe on you with my fiery anger, and melt you in the city.
