Jeremiah 6:27–30 · Berean Standard Bible

27 “I have appointed you to examine My people like ore, so you may know and try their ways.

28 All are hardened rebels, walking around as slanderers. They are bronze and iron; all of them are corrupt.

29 The bellows blow fiercely, blasting away the lead with fire. The refining proceeds in vain, for the wicked are not purged.

30 They are called rejected silver, because the LORD has rejected them.”
