Jeremiah 6:27-30
Lexham English Bible
27 “I have made you an assayer among my people, a fortification,
so that you may know and put to the test their ways.[a]
28 All of them are stubborn rebels,
going about talking slander.
They are bronze and iron,
they are all behaving corruptly.
29 The bellows[b] are burned up,
lead is consumed by fire.
In vain[c] he keeps on refining,[d]
but the wicked are not torn apart.
30 They are called[e] rejected silver,
For Yahweh has rejected them.”
