In context
26O daughter of my people, gird thyself with sackcloth: sprinkle thyself with ashes; make for thyself pitiable lamentation, as the mourning for a beloved son: for misery will come suddenly upon you.
27I have caused thee to be tried among tried nations, and thou shalt know me when I have tried their way.
— Jeremiah 6:28 —
29The bellows have failed from the fire, the lead has failed: the silversmith works at his trade in vain; their wickedness is not consumed.
30Call ye them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them.
