Jeremiah 6:26-28
International Standard Version
26 Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
and roll in ashes.
Mourn with bitter wailing,
as one mourns at the death of[a] an only son.
For the destroyer will come on us suddenly.
People Rejected by the Lord
27 “I’ve made you an assayer[b] of my people,
as well as[c] a fortress.
You know how
to test their way.”
28 All of them are very rebellious,
going around as slanderers.
They’re bronze and iron,
and all of them are corrupt.
