Yehezkiel 22:19-21

22:19 Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘Because all of you ¹  have become slag, look out! – I am about to gather you in the middle of Jerusalem. ²  22:20 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 ³  and melt you. 22:21 I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in it.
