Ezekiel 22:19

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: `Because ye have all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 22:19 In-Context

17 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 "Son of man, the house of Israel has to Me become dross. All they are brass and tin and iron and lead in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: `Because ye have all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it to melt it, so will I gather you in Mine anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.
21 Yea, I will gather you and blow upon you in the fire of My wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
