They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
