12In you they have taken rewards as the price of blood; you have taken interest and great profits, and you have taken away your neighbours' goods by force, and have not kept me in mind, says the Lord.
13See, then, I have made my hands come together in wrath against your taking of goods by force and against the blood which has been flowing in you.
14Will your heart be high or your hands strong in the days when I take you in hand? I the Lord have said it and will do it.
15And I will send you in flight among the nations and wandering among the countries; and I will completely take away out of you everything which is unclean.
16And you will be made low before the eyes of the nations; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
18Son 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.
