Ezekiel 22:16

Sin

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.

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.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
