Ezekiel 22:23 In-Context

21 And I will gather you, and I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and [so] I will melt [you] in the midst of her.

22 Thus you will be melted like [the] melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, and you will know that I, Yahweh, I have poured out my rage on you.'"

23 And the word of Yahweh {came} to me, {saying},

24 "Son of man, say to her, 'You [are] a land not cleansed; it is not rained upon [in] [the] day of indignation.'

25 The conspiracy of its prophets in the midst of her [is] like a roaring lion [that] is tearing prey. They devour people, and they take wealth and treasure; they make its widows numerous in the midst of her.
