And it came to pass in the seventh year, around the fifth month, the ides of that month, that certain number of the Elders witnessed the seventh angel pour the vial:
            Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the
abominations of their fathers:
                                 But I said unto their children in the wilderness, the house of Israel is to Me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross for silver.  As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so will I gather you in Mine anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
                                Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of My wrath, and
ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon
in the day of indignation.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of that certain kingdom thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.  Her priests have violated My law, and profaned Mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and the profaned, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
                                 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
                                 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.
                                 The people of the land have used opression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.  Nevertheless I withdrew Mine hand, and wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.  So I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgements, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
