Ezekiel 22:18-22
22:18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become slag to me. All of them are like bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the furnace;
they are the worthless slag of silver.
22:19 Therefore this is what the sovereign
Lord says: ‘Because all of you
have become slag, look out! – I am about to gather you in the middle of Jerusalem.
22:20 As silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin are gathered in a furnace so that the fire can melt them, so I will gather you in my anger and in my rage. I will deposit you there
and melt you.
22:21 I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in it.
22:22 As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted in it, and you will know that I, the
Lord, have poured out my anger on you.’”
Micah 3:2-3
3:2 yet you hate what is good,
and love what is evil.
You flay my people’s skin
and rip the flesh from their bones.
3:3 You devour my people’s flesh,
strip off their skin,
and crush their bones.
You chop them up like flesh in a pot –
like meat in a kettle.
Matthew 7:2
7:2 For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive.
