Jeremiah 6:27 - The Message

God gave me this task:   "I have made you the examiner of my people,
   to examine and weigh their lives.
They’re a thickheaded, hard-nosed bunch,
   rotten to the core, the lot of them.
Refining fires are cranked up to white heat,
   but the ore stays a lump, unchanged.
It’s useless to keep trying any longer.
   Nothing can refine evil out of them.
Men will give up and call them ’slag,’
   thrown on the slag heap by me, their God."
