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)

Jeremiah 6:27-30
International Standard Version
People Rejected by the Lord
27 “I’ve made you an assayer[a] of my people,
as well as[b] a fortress.
You know how
to test their way.”
28 All of them are very rebellious,
going around as slanderers.
They’re bronze and iron,
and all of them are corrupt.
29 The bellows blow fiercely to consume
the lead with the fire.
The assayer[c] keeps on refining,
but the impurities[d] aren’t separated out.
30 They’re called reject silver,
because the Lord has rejected them.
