Yechezkel 22:17-19

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁷ And the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,

¹⁸ Ben adam, Bais Yisroel is to Me become sig (dross, smelting waste product); all they are nechoshet, and bedil (tin), and barzel (iron), and oferet (lead), in the midst of the kur (furnace); they are even the siggim (drosses) of kesef.

¹⁹ Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem; because ye are all become siggim, hineni, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Yerushalayim.
