The word of God comes to Ezekiel saying: The house of Israel has become dross to Me; all of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead in the furnace; they are the dross of silver. The metaphor shifts to metallurgical imagery, with Jerusalem compared to waste material in a smelting furnace. The people have become valueless dross, no longer functioning as precious metal. The furnace represents the refining process that separates valuable from worthless material.
