Jeremiah 6:27-29

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁷ “Jeremiah, I have put you in charge of testing and refining my people.
You will know how to test their ways.
²⁸ They are all vicious rebels.
They go around slandering.
They are all like bronze and iron.
They corrupt themselves.
²⁹ The bellows of the blast furnace blow fiercely
to make the fire melt away the lead.
It is useless to go on refining
because the impurities can’t be removed.
