Jeremiah 6:27-30
Legacy Standard Bible

27 “I have (A)made you a tester of metals and [a]an assayer among My people,
That you may know and test their way.”
28 All of them are rebelliously stubborn,
(B)Going about as a slanderer.
They are (C)bronze and iron;
They, all of them, are corrupt.
29 The bellows blow fiercely;
The lead [b]is consumed by the fire;
In vain the refining goes on,
But the (D)evil ones are not [c]separated.
30 (E)They call them rejected silver
Because (F)Yahweh has rejected them.

Jeremiah 6:27-30
Holman Christian Standard Bible

Jeremiah Appointed as an Examiner

27 I have appointed you to be an assayer among My people—
a refiner[a]—
so you may know and assay their way of life.(A)
28 All are stubborn rebels
spreading slander.(B)
They are bronze and iron;
all of them are corrupt.(C)
29 The bellows blow,
blasting the lead with fire.
The refining is completely in vain;
the evil ones are not separated out.
30 They are called rejected silver,
for the Lord has rejected them.(D)
