Exegesis
The perfect form hayu-li {הָיוּ־לִ֥י | hā-yû-lî} ‘have become to me’ functions as a verbless main clause with beit-yisrael {בֵֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל | bêṯ-yiś-rāʾ-êl} as the nominative subject.
In context — Ezekiel 22:18
Son of Man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me ; all of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead within the furnace, and they have become the dross of silver .
