Ezekiel 22:13-22

13“Behold, then, I smite My hand at your 1dishonest gain which you have acquired and at 2the bloodshed which is among you. 14Can 3your heart endure, or can your hands be strong in the days that I will deal with you? 4I, the Lord, have spoken and will act. 15I will 5scatter you among the nations and I will disperse you through the lands, and I will 6consume your uncleanness from you. 16You will profane yourself in the sight of the nations, and you will 7know that I am the Lord.”’”

17And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18“Son of man, the house of Israel has become 8dross to Me; all of them are 9bronze and tin and iron and lead in the 10furnace; they are the dross of silver. 19Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ‘Because all of you have become dross, therefore, behold, I am going to gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20As they gather silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into the 11furnace to blow fire on it in order to melt it, so I will gather you in My anger and in My wrath and I will lay you there and melt you. 21I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted in the midst of it. 22As silver is melted in the furnace, so you will be melted in the midst of it; and you will know that I, the Lord, have 12poured out My wrath on you.’”
