Jeremiah 6:27
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“I have appointed you to examine My people like ore, so you may know and try their ways.
In context
25 Do not go out to the fields; do not walk the road. For the enemy has a sword; terror is on every side.
26 O daughter of my people, dress yourselves in sackcloth and roll in ashes. Mourn with bitter wailing, as you would for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
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.
