27 I have appointed you to be an assayer among My people —a refiner —so you may know and assay their way of life.
28 All are stubborn rebelsspreading slander. They are bronze and iron;all of them are corrupt.
29 The bellows blow,blasting the lead with fire.The refining is completely in vain;the evil ones are not separated out.
30 They are called rejected silver,for the Lord has rejected them.
