27 “I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way. 28 They are all grievous rebels, going around to slander. They are bronze and iron. All of them deal corruptly. 29 The bellows blow fiercely. The lead is consumed in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away. 30 Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”

27 I have set you as an assayer
    and fortress among My people
that you may know
    and try their way.
28 They all are stubborn rebels
    walking about practicing slander.
They are bronze and iron;
    they all are corrupters.
29 The bellows blow fiercely,
    the lead is consumed by the fire;
the founder melts in vain,
    for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Men will call them rejected silver,
    because the Lord has rejected them.
