11. One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
12. In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord Yahweh.
13. “‘“Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been within you.

17. Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
18. “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are brass, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.

20. As they gather silver, brass, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
21. Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle of it.
22. As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you.’”
23. Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
24. “Son of man, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.’
