“ Son of man, the people of Israel have become dross to me; all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace. They are but the dross of silver.

You remove all the wicked of the earth like slag. Therefore I love your rules.

Your silver has become scum, your beer is diluted with water.

I reported,“ All of them are the most stubborn of rebels! They are as hard as bronze or iron. They go about telling lies. They all deal corruptly.The fiery bellows of judgment burn fiercely. But there is too much dross to be removed. The process of refining them has proved useless. The wicked have not been purged.They are regarded as‘ rejected silver’ because the LORD rejects them.”

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of misery.

The crucible is for refining silver and the furnace is for gold, likewise the LORD tests hearts.

Alas! Gold has lost its luster; pure gold loses value. Jewels are scattered on every street corner.ב( Bet)The precious sons of Zion were worth their weight in gold– Alas!– but now they are treated like broken clay pots, made by a potter.ג( Gimel)

I will attack you; I will purify your metal with flux. I will remove all your slag.

I did this because I know how stubborn you are. Your neck muscles are like iron and your forehead like bronze.

As silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin are gathered in a furnace so that the fire can melt them, so I will gather you in my anger and in my rage. I will deposit you there and melt you.

They will surrender their stronghold because of fear; their officers will be afraid of the LORD’s battle flag.” This is what the LORD says– the one whose fire is in Zion, whose firepot is in Jerusalem.
