Ezekiel 22:11-21

[11] And one  hath committed  abomination  with his neighbour's  wife;  and another  hath lewdly  defiled  his daughter in law;  and another  in thee hath humbled  his sister,  his father's  daughter.  [12] In thee have they taken  gifts  to shed  blood;  thou hast taken  usury  and increase,  and thou hast greedily gained  of thy neighbours  by extortion,  and hast forgotten  me, saith  the Lord  GOD.  [13] Behold, therefore I have smitten  mine hand  at thy dishonest gain  which thou hast made,  and at thy blood  which hath been in the midst  [14] Can thine heart  endure,  or can thine hands  be strong,  in the days  that I shall deal  with thee? I the LORD  have spoken  it, and will do  [15] And I will scatter  thee among the heathen,  and disperse  thee in the countries,  and will consume  thy filthiness  [16] And thou shalt take thine inheritance  in thyself in the sight  of the heathen,  and thou shalt know  that I am the LORD.  [17] And the word  of the LORD  came unto me, saying,  [18] 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.  [19] Therefore thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  Because ye are all become dross,  behold, therefore I will gather  you into the midst  of Jerusalem.  [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 fury,  and I will leave  you there, and melt  [21] Yea, I will gather  you, and blow  upon you in the fire  of my wrath,  and ye shall be melted  in the midst
