A pillar of iron, a wall of bronze,

Against Judah’s kings and princes,
its priests and the people of the land.(A)

Footnotes
- 6:27–30 God appoints Jeremiah to be a “tester” of his people. The passage uses the metaphor of the refining of silver: the silver was extracted from lead ore, but the process in ancient times was inexact, so that sometimes all that was left was a scummy mess, to be thrown out.
