Isaiah 1:22

Your silver has become dross, your best wine mixed with water.

They are all stubbornly rebellious, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron; all of them act corruptly.

How the gold has grown dim, how the pure gold is changed! The holy stones lie scattered at the head of every street.

"Son of man, 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 dross of silver.

When their drink is gone, they give themselves to whoring; their rulers dearly love shame.

What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.

For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
