Jeremiah 6:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ Put on sackcloth, daughter of my people.
Roll in ashes.
Mourn as you would for an only son,
because suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.

²⁷ I have made you like someone who tests metals.
My people are the ore that is being tested.
Observe them,
and examine their ways.
²⁸ They are all stubborn rebels,
walking in slander.
They are as hard as bronze and iron,
and all of them are contaminated.
