Ezekiel 22:19

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, because ye are all become
dross
King, princes, nobles, prophets, priests, as well as the common people; the apostasy was general, in city and country; scarcely any exceptions to be made: therefore will I gather you into the midst of Jerusalem;
from the several parts of the country, thinking they should be safe there, when the design of God by this providence was the destruction of them in it.
