And will not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the Lord.
“Behold, aI will refine them and try them;
bFor how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
It speaks adeceit;
One speaks bpeaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But1 in his heart he lies in wait.
“Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
And afor the dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation,
Because they are burned up,
So that no one can pass through;
Nor can men hear the voice of the cattle.
bBoth the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled;
They are gone.
I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.”

Behold, I win melt them - I will put them in the furnace of affliction, and see if this will be a means of purging away their dross. See on Jeremiah 6:27 (note).
