28All of them are rebelliously stubborn,

aGoing about as a slanderer.

They are bbronze and iron;

They, all of them, are corrupt.

29The bellows blow fiercely;

The lead 1is consumed by the fire;

In vain the refining goes on,

But the aevil ones are not 2separated.

30aThey call them rejected silver

Because bYahweh has rejected them.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

They are all stubbornly rebellious,

going about with slanders;

they are bronze and iron;

all of them act corruptly.

The bellows blow fiercely;

the lead is consumed by the fire;

in vain the refining goes on,

for the wicked are not removed.

Rejected silver they are called,

for the Lord has rejected them.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

They are all hardened rebels,

going about to slander.

They are bronze and iron;

they all act corruptly.

The bellows blow fiercely

to burn away the lead with fire,

but the refining goes on in vain;

the wicked are not purged out.

They are called rejected silver,

because the Lord has rejected them.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

All are stubborn rebels

spreading slander.

They are bronze and iron;

all of them are corrupt.

The bellows blow,

blasting the lead with fire.

The refining is completely in vain;

the evil ones are not separated out.

They are called rejected silver,

for the Lord has rejected them.

NLTNew Living Translation

They are the worst kind of rebel,

full of slander.

They are as hard as bronze and iron,

and they lead others into corruption.

The bellows fiercely fan the flames

to burn out the corruption.

But it does not purify them,

for the wickedness remains.

I will label them ‘Rejected Silver,’

for I, the Lord, am discarding them.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

All of them are stubborn rebels,

going about talking slander.

They are bronze and iron,

they are all behaving corruptly.

The bellows are burned up,

lead is consumed by fire.

In vain he keeps on refining,

but the wicked are not torn apart.

They are called rejected silver,

For Yahweh has rejected them.”

KJV 1900King James Version

They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters. The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away. Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.
