"Thou son of man, the house of Israel is turned to dross. All they that should be brass, tin, iron and lead, are in the fire become dross.

like as silver, and brass, iron, tin, and lead, are put together in the furnace and the fire blown there under to melt them: Even so will I gather you, put you in together, and melt you in my wrath and indignation.

Tarshish occupied with thee in all manner of wares: in silver, iron, tin and lead, and made thy market great.

All whirry men, and all mariners upon the sea, shall leap out of their boats and set themselves upon the land.

Ye lean upon your swords, ye work abominations, every one defileth his neighbour's wife: and shall ye then possess the land?'

Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God unto them: Behold, I will sever the fat sheep from the lean:

and turn thee about, and carry thee forth, and lead thee from the north parts, and bring thee up to the mountains of Israel.

By this river upon both the sides of the shore, there shall grow all manner of fruitful trees, whose leaves shall not fall off, neither shall their fruit perish: but ever be ripe at their months, for their water runneth out of the Sanctuary. His fruit is good to eat, and his leaf profitable for medicine.
