Jeremiah 6:27-30
Common English Bible
Prophet as tester
27 I have made you a tester of metals,
to examine my people[a]
to know and prove their ways.
28 They are tin[b] and iron;
they are headstrong and rebellious.
They live to slander.
They act corruptly—every last one!
29 The bellows roar;
the lead is consumed.[c]
Yet the refining fails;
the impurities[d] remain.
30 They are called “rejected silver,”
for the Lord has rejected them.
