Jeremiah 6:30

Sin

28 All are hardened rebels, walking around as slanderers. They are bronze and iron; all of them are corrupt.

29 The bellows blow fiercely, blasting away the lead with fire. The refining proceeds in vain, for the wicked are not purged.

They are called rejected silver, because the LORD has rejected them.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
