for the wicked are not removed.

30Refuse silver they are called,

for the Lord has rejected them.”

because the Lord has rejected them.”

They are called rejected silver,

for the Lord has rejected them.

to burn out the corruption.

for the wickedness remains.

I will label them ‘Rejected Silver,’

for I, the Lord, am discarding them.”

but the wicked are not torn apart.

They are called rejected silver,

For Yahweh has rejected them.”
