17 The word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁸Mortal, the house of Israel has become dross to me; all of them, silver,^* bronze, tin, iron, and lead. In the smelter they have become dross. ¹⁹Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. ²⁰As one gathers silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into a smelter, to blow the fire upon them in order to melt them; so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will put you in and melt you. ²¹I will gather you and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted within it.
