“હે મનુષ્યપુત્ર, ઇઝરાયલી લોકો મારે માટે નકામા કચરા જેવા છે. તેઓ ભઠ્ઠીમાં રહેલા પિત્તળ, કલાઈ, લોખંડ તથા સીસા જેવા છે. તેઓ તારી ભઠ્ઠીમાં ચાંદીના કચરા જેવા છે.
हिन्दीयहेजकेल २२:१८
“हे मनुष्य के सन्तान, इस्राएल का घराना मेरी दृष्टि में धातु का मैल हो गया है; वे सब के सब भट्ठी के बीच के पीतल और राँगे और लोहे और शीशे के समान बन गए; वे चाँदी के मैल के समान हो गए हैं।

In context

16You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”

17The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

18“Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.

19Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.

20As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there and melt you.
