^{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.
