Jeremiah 6:28-30

28 aThey are all stubbornly rebellious,
bgoing about with slanders;
they are cbronze and iron;
all of them act corruptly.
29The dbellows blow fiercely;
the lead is consumed by the fire;
ein vain the refining goes on,
for the wicked are not removed.
30 fRejected silver they are called,
for the Lord has rejected them.”
