26 My people, put on the clothes of sadness.
    Roll among the ashes.
Mourn with bitter weeping
    just as you would mourn for an only son.
The one who is going to destroy us
    will come suddenly.

27 The Lord says to me, “I have made you like one who tests metals.
    My people are the ore.
I want you to watch them

    They go around telling lies about others.
They are like bronze mixed with iron.
    All of them do very sinful things.
