Ezekiel 22:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me: all these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dross of silver.

¹⁹ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you are all turned into dross, therefore behold I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem.
