Jeremías 6:28

28 Todos ellos son rebeldes obstinados que andan calumniando. Son hierro y bronce; todos ellos están corrompidos.

Jeremías 6:28 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 6:28

They are all grievous revolters
From the right way of God and his worship: or, they are all revolters of revolters
F5; of all, the greatest revolters, the greatest sinners and transgressors, the most stubborn and disobedient; or sons of revolters; fathers and children are alike. The Targum, is,

``all their princes rebel;''
and so the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions: "walking with slanders": of one another; or with deceit, as the Targum; in a hypocritical and fraudulent manner; playing the hypocrite with God, or tricking and deceiving their neighbours. They are "brass and iron"; as vile and mean as those metals, and not as gold and silver; or as hard and inflexible as they are; or they deal as insincerely
``as he that mixes brass with iron;''
so the Targum: they are all corrupters;
as such that mix metals are; they are corrupters of themselves and of others, of the doctrines and manners of men, and of the ways and worship of God.

Jeremías 6:28 In-Context

26 Hija de mi pueblo, cíñete el cilicio y revuélcate en ceniza; haz duelo como por hijo único, lamento de gran amargura, porque de pronto el destructor vendrá sobre nosotros.
27 Te he puesto como observador y como examinador entre mi pueblo, para que conozcas y examines su conducta.
28 Todos ellos son rebeldes obstinados que andan calumniando. Son hierro y bronce; todos ellos están corrompidos.
29 El fuelle sopla con furor, el plomo es consumido por el fuego; en vano se sigue refinando, pues los malvados no son separados.
30 Los llaman plata de deshecho, porque el SEÑOR los ha desechado.
