Ezekiel 22:16 BBE

¹⁴  Will 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.

¹⁵  And 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.

¹⁶  And you will be made low before the eyes of the nations; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

¹⁷  And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

¹⁸  Son 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.
