10. They have uncovered their fathers’ nakedness in you; they violate women that are in niddah within you.
11. One has been detestable with his neighbor’s wife; another has wickedly defiled his daughter-in-law; yet another has violated his sister, his father’s daughter, in you.
12. They accept bribes in order to shed blood in you; you have taken usurious interest. You have greedily gained by oppressing your neighbors, and you have forgotten Me.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
13. “Now look, I clap My hands at your dishonest gain that you have made and at your bloodshed in your midst.
14. Will your heart’s courage stand or your hands be strong in the days when I deal with you? I, Adonai, have spoken it and will do it.
15. I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you throughout the lands. I will purge your uncleanness from you.
16. You will be defiled in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am Adonai.”
17. The word of Adonai came to me saying:
18. “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me—all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace—they are the dross of silver.”
19. Therefore, thus says Adonai Elohim: “Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.
20. As one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead and tin into the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury. I will put you in and melt you.
