14. Will your heart’s courage stand or your hands be strong in the days when I deal with you? I, Adonai, have spoken it and will do it.
15. I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you throughout the lands. I will purge your uncleanness from you.
16. You will be defiled in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am Adonai.”
17. The word of Adonai came to me saying:
18. “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me—all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace—they are the dross of silver.”
