27 “I have amade you a tester of metals and an assayer among My people,
That you may know and test their way.”
28 All of them are rebelliously stubborn,
aGoing about as a slanderer.
They are bbronze and iron;
They, all of them, are corrupt.
29 The bellows blow fiercely;
The lead is consumed by the fire;
In vain the refining goes on,
But the aevil ones are not separated.
30 aThey call them rejected silver
Because bYahweh has rejected them.
