Jeremiah 6:27-30 - Jeremiah Appointed As An Examiner

²⁷ I have appointed you to be an assayer among My people—
a refiner—
so you may know and assay their way of life.
²⁸ All are stubborn rebels
spreading slander.
They are bronze and iron;
all of them are corrupt.
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.
