Jeremiah Appointed as an Examiner

27 I have appointed you to be an assayer among My people—
a refiner[a]
so you may know and assay their way of life.(A)
28 All are stubborn rebels
spreading slander.(B)
They are bronze and iron;
all of them are corrupt.(C)
29 The bellows blow,
blasting the lead with fire.
The refining is completely in vain;
the evil ones are not separated out.
