The verse 27 is found in chapter 6 of Jeremiah. A powerful nation advances from the north and causes terror. Jeremiah is instructed to test the people like metal, but the result is disappointing: the silver is rejected because the impurities cannot be separated. The metaphor shows that judgment reveals deeply rooted corruption.
