Jeremiah 6:28-30

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁸ They are all stubborn rebels,
walking in slander.
They are as hard as bronze and iron,
and all of them are contaminated.
²⁹ The bellows blows hot to melt away the refining agent^[a] with fire.
The refining agent is completely used up, but the evil is not removed.
³⁰ They are classified as rejected silver,
because the Lord has rejected them.
