Jeremiah 6:26-27

26So I say, ‘My dear people, show that you are sorry. Wear sackcloth and sit in ashes. Weep and cry aloud, as if your only child had died. Realize that the enemy's army will soon be here and they are ready to destroy us.’

27The Lord said to me, ‘I have sent you to test my people. Test them like someone tests metal. Watch them carefully, to see how they live.
