Ezekiel 22

Ezekiel details Jerusalem's systemic sins—including bloodshed, idolatry, sexual misconduct, and corruption among princes, priests, and prophets—which have made the people dross (worthless impurities) in YHWH's sight.[1][2] YHWH declares judgment through the metaphor of a smelting furnace, gathering Israel into Jerusalem to melt away their impurities through fiery judgment, and finding no one righteous enough to intercede and stand in the gap to prevent destruction.[1][5]
