Ezekieli 22:18

“Mwanadamu, nyumba ya Israeli imekuwa kwangu takataka ya chuma, wote kwangu wamekuwa shaba, bati, chuma na risasi iliyoachwa kalibuni. Wao ni taka ya madini ya fedha tu.

Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
