This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_6:30 Reprobate silver shall [men] call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
Ver. 30. Reprobate {a} silver shall men call them.] Dross and refuse, rather than pure metal; "silver" they would seem to be, but their hypocrisy shall be made known to all men, who shall count them and call them "reprobate," because impurgabiles and inexpiabiles, uncounsellable and incorrigible; {b} a sure sign of reprobation, as Aquinas noteth from Heb_6:7-8.
For the Lord hath rejected them.] As refuse and counterfeit, such as will not pass in payment. {c} Hence they are to be cast into Babylon’s iron furnace ( quasi antro Aetnaeo et Cyclopico adhuc decoquendi), a type of that eternal fire of hell prepared of old for the devil and reprobates.
{a} Aäïêéìïò , unapproved.
{b} Jerome, Lyra.
{c} Deus est sapiens nummularius, God is a wise banker.
