Jeremiah 6:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
    and roll in ashes.
Mourn with bitter wailing,
    as one mourns at the death of^[a] an only son.
For the destroyer will come on us suddenly.

²⁷ “I’ve made you an assayer^[b] of my people,
    as well as^[c] a fortress.
You know how
    to test their way.”
²⁸ All of them are very rebellious,
    going around as slanderers.
They’re bronze and iron,
    and all of them are corrupt.
