26 My people, put on rough cloth
    and roll in the ashes to show how sad you are.
Cry loudly for those who are dead,
    as if your only son were dead,
because the destroyer
    will soon come against us.

27 “Jeremiah, I have made you like a worker who tests metal,
    and my people are like the ore.
You must observe their ways
    and test them.
28 All my people have turned against me and are stubborn.
    They go around telling lies about others.
They are like bronze and iron
    that became covered with rust.
    They all act dishonestly.
