- "[As] they gatherª silver,ª and brass,ª and iron,ª and lead,ª and tin,ª into¹ the midstª of the furnace,ª to blowª° the fireª upon¹ it, to meltª° [it]; so¹ will I gatherª° [you] in mine angerª and in my fury,ª and I will leave²°¹ [you there], and meltª° you." {Ezk 22:20} + "Because I knew²¹¹ that¹ thou¹ [art] obstinate,ª and thy neckª [is] an ironª sinew,ª and thy browª brass;ª" {Isa 48:4} + "How¹ is the goldª become dim!ª° [how] is the mostª fine goldª changed!ª° the stonesª of the sanctuaryª are poured outª° in the topª of every¹ street.ª ... The preciousª sonsª of Zion,ª comparableª° to fine gold,ª how¹ are they esteemedª° as earthenª pitchers,ª the workª of the handsª of the potter!ª°" {Lam 4:1-2}
