²⁶ “Daughter of My people,
    put on sackcloth and roll in ashes.
    Mourn as for an only son
        with bitter lamentation.”
    “For suddenly the destroyer
        will come on us!”

²⁷ “I have made you a metal-tester among My people—
    so you may observe and test their way.
²⁸ They are all stubborn rebels
        spreading slander.
    They are bronze and iron,
        all of them are corrupt.
