Jeremiah 6:27-30

Prophet as tester

27 I have made you a tester of metals, to examine my people to know and prove their ways.
28 They are tin and iron; they are headstrong and rebellious. They live to slander. They act corruptly—every last one!
29 The bellows roar; the lead is consumed. Yet the refining fails; the impurities remain.
30 They are called "rejected silver," for the LORD has rejected them.
