Ezekiel 22
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Ref Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.
19 Ref For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.
20 Ref As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.
21 Ref Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.
22 Ref As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.
