Jeremiah 6:27-29
Authorized (King James) Version
27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people,
that thou mayest know and try their way.
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders:
they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire;
the founder melteth in vain:
for the wicked are not plucked away.
Jeremiah 6:27-29
New International Version
27 “I have made you a tester(A) of metals
and my people the ore,
that you may observe
and test their ways.
28 They are all hardened rebels,(B)
going about to slander.(C)
They are bronze and iron;(D)
they all act corruptly.
29 The bellows blow fiercely
to burn away the lead with fire,
but the refining(E) goes on in vain;
the wicked are not purged out.
