26O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
         And roll in ashes;
         Mourn as for an only son,
         A lamentation most bitter.
         For suddenly the destroyer
         Will come upon us.

27“I have made you an assayer and a tester among My people,
         That you may know and assay their way.”

28All of them are stubbornly rebellious,
         Going about as a talebearer.
         They are bronze and iron;
         They, all of them, are corrupt.

29The bellows blow fiercely,
         The lead is consumed by the fire;
         In vain the refining goes on,
         But the wicked are not separated.

30They call them rejected silver,
         Because the LORD has rejected them.
