15. And I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the countries, and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
16. And you shall be dishonored and profane yourself in the sight of the nations, and you shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord.
17. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18. Son of man, the house of Israel has become to Me scum and waste matter. All of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
