Ezekiel 22:18

You remove all the wicked of the earth like dross; Therefore I love Your testimonies.

Take away the dross from the silver, And there comes out a vessel for the smith;

“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

All of them are rebelliously stubborn, Going about as a slanderer. They are bronze and iron; They, all of them, are corrupt.

“But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.”
