Jeremiah 6:27-29
Revised Standard Version
27 “I have made you an assayer and tester among my people,
that you may know and assay their ways.
28 They are all stubbornly rebellious,
going about with slanders;
they are bronze and iron,
all of them act corruptly.
29 The bellows blow fiercely,
the lead is consumed by the fire;
in vain the refining goes on,
for the wicked are not removed.
Jeremiah 6:27-29
New International Version
27 “I have made you a tester(A) of metals
and my people the ore,
that you may observe
and test their ways.
28 They are all hardened rebels,(B)
going about to slander.(C)
They are bronze and iron;(D)
they all act corruptly.
29 The bellows blow fiercely
to burn away the lead with fire,
but the refining(E) goes on in vain;
the wicked are not purged out.
