Jeremiah 6:27 - 6:30

“I have made you a tester of metals and an assayer among My people,

That you may know and test their way.”

All of them are rebelliously stubborn,

Going about as a slanderer.

They are bronze and iron;

They, all of them, are corrupt.

The bellows blow fiercely;

The lead is consumed by the fire;

In vain the refining goes on,

But the evil ones are not separated.

They call them rejected silver

Because Yahweh has rejected them.
