28 Todos eles são rebeldes obstinadose propagadores de calúnias.Estão endurecidos como o bronze e o ferro.Todos eles são corruptos.

Jeremias 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.

Jeremias 6:28 In-Context

26 Ó minha filha, meu povo, ponha vestes de lamentoe revolva-se em cinza.Lamente-se com choro amargurado,como quem chora por um filho único,pois subitamente o destruidorvirá sobre nós.

27 “Eu o designei para examinador de metais,provador do meu povo,para que você examinee ponha à prova a conduta deles.

28 Todos eles são rebeldes obstinadose propagadores de calúnias.Estão endurecidos como o bronze e o ferro.Todos eles são corruptos.

29 O fole sopra com forçapara separar o chumbo com o fogo,mas o refino prossegue em vão;os ímpios não são expurgados.

30 São chamados prata rejeitada,porque o SENHOR os rejeitou”.
