13. Hinei, therefore I have struck Mine palm at thy betza (dishonest gain) which thou hast made, and at thy bloodshed which hath been in the midst of thee.
14. Can thine lev stand firm, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I Hashem have spoken it, and will do it.
15. And I will scatter thee among the Goyim, and disperse thee throughout the countries, and will remove thy tum'a (uncleanness) out of thee.
16. And thou shalt defile thyself in the sight of the Goyim, and thou shalt know that I am Hashem.
17. And the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
18. Ben adam, Bais Yisroel is to Me become sig (dross, smelting waste product); all they are nechoshet, and bedil (tin), and barzel (iron), and oferet (lead), in the midst of the kur (furnace); they are even the siggim (drosses) of kesef.
19. Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem; because ye are all become siggim, hineni, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Yerushalayim.
