Jeremiah 6:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ I have set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way.

²⁸ All of these princes go out of the way, they walk deceitfully, they are brass and iron: they are all corrupted.

²⁹ The bellows have failed, the lead is consumed in the fire, the founder hath melted in vain: for their wicked deeds are not consumed.
