Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water.

Jerusalem, your silver isn’t pure anymore. Your best wine has been made weak with water.

Your silver has become dross, your best wine mixed with water.

“ 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.Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:‘ Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem.As silver, copper, iron, lead and tin are gathered into a furnace to be melted with a fiery blast, so will I gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you.I will gather you and I will blow on you with my fiery wrath, and you will be melted inside her.As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted inside her, and you will know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath on you.’” (niv)

How the gold has lost its luster, the fine gold become dull! The sacred gems are scattered at every street corner.How the precious children of Zion, once worth their weight in gold, are now considered as pots of clay, the work of a potter’s hands! (niv)

Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution; their rulers dearly love shameful ways. (niv)

They are all hardened rebels, going about to slander. They are bronze and iron; they all act corruptly.The bellows blow fiercely to burn away the lead with fire, but the refining goes on in vain; the wicked are not purged out.They are called rejected silver, because the Lord has rejected them.” (niv)

Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God. (niv)

“ What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears. (niv)
