Ezekiel 22:17
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.’”
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.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
