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.
19For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.
20As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.
