Jeremiah 6:27

An Invasion From The North

²⁶ O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
And roll in ashes;
Mourn as for an only son,
A lamentation most bitter.
For suddenly the destroyer
Will come upon us.
²⁷ “I have made you an assayer and a tester among My people,
That you may know and assay their way.”
²⁸ All of them are stubbornly rebellious,
Going about as a talebearer.
They are bronze and iron;
They, all of them, are corrupt.
