Ezekiel 22:10–18
10In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.↗
11One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.↗
12In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord GOD.↗
13“‘“Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.↗
14Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.↗
15I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.↗
16You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”↗
17The LORD’s word came to me, saying,↗
18“Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.↗
