Yahweh’s separating out the rubble

22:17 Yahweh’s separating out the rubble

17 Then Yahweh gave me another message: 18 “Son of humanity, the Israeli people have become like dross to me. They’re all just the leftovers of bronze, tin, iron, and lead among you—they’ll be like the dross from silver in your furnace. 19 Therefore the master Yahweh says this, ‘Because you people have become like dross, then listen: I’m about to gather you into the centre of Yerushalem (Jerusalem). 20 Just like men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin, and put it into a furnace to melt it, then blast the fire onto it in order to melt it, that’s how I’ll gather you in my anger and my rage, and I’ll put you in there and melt you. 21 Yes, I’ll gather you and blow my fire of fury onto you, and you’ll be melted in the middle of it. 22 Just like silver’s melted in a furnace, you’ll be melted in it, and you’ll know that I, Yahweh, have poured my wrath out onto you!’ ”
