28. They [are] all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: [they are] brass and iron; they [are] all corrupters. 29. The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away. 30. Reprobate silver shall [men] call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.

Theological / Devotional

Revolters. The LXX has “ones unwilling to hear,” that is, disobedient ones.

Brass and iron. These are of themselves not valueless metals, but should they be discovered by an assayer who was expecting to find gold or silver, he would be greatly disappointed. God as the great Assayer was keenly disappointed in His people. They completely missed attaining to the high destiny He had in mind for them, and yet they considered themselves better than the heathen.
