²⁸ All of them are rebelliously stubborn,
^(A)Going about as a slanderer.
They are ^(B)bronze and iron;
They, all of them, are corrupt.
²⁹ The bellows blow fiercely;
The lead ^[a]is consumed by the fire;
In vain the refining goes on,
But the ^(C)evil ones are not ^[b]separated.
^30 (D)They call them rejected silver
Because ^(E)Yahweh has rejected them.
