Bible verse
And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Ezekiel 22:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 22.
12 In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
13 Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.
14 Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.
15 I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness.
16 And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
17 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me. All of them are copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are but the dross of silver.
19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.
20 Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to melt with a fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you there, and melt you.
