¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel is unto me as ^[a]dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace: they are even the dross of silver.

²⁰ As they gather silver and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it to melt it, so will I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and will put you there ^[a]and melt you.
