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
New King James Version
27 “I have set you as an assayer and (A)a fortress among My people,
That you may know and test their way.
28 (B)They are all stubborn rebels, (C)walking as slanderers.
They are (D)bronze and iron,
They are all corrupters;
29 The bellows blow fiercely,
The lead is consumed by the fire;
The smelter refines in vain,
For the wicked are not drawn off.
30 People will call them (E)rejected silver,
Because the Lord has rejected them.”
