The verse 28 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.

Sie sind allzumal Abtrünnige und wandeln verräterisch, sind Erz und Eisen; alle sind sie verderbt.
Todos ellos príncipes rebeldes, andan con engaño; son cobre y hierro: todos ellos son corruptores.
Todos ellos son rebeldes obstinados, que andan calumniando; son bronce y hierro, todos ellos son corruptores.
Ils sont tous des rebelles, des calomniateurs, De l'airain et du fer; Ils sont tous corrompus.
Essi tutti son ribelli ritrosissimi, vanno sparlando; son rame e ferro; tutti son corrotti.
Todos eles são os mais rebeldes, andam murmurando; são duros como bronze e ferro; todos eles são corruptores.
他們極其悖逆, 到處毀謗人, 他們是銅是鐵, 全都敗壞了。
