jeremiah 6:28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

jeremiah 6:28 All of them are stubbornly rebellious, Going about as a talebearer. [They are] bronze and iron; They, all of them, are corrupt.

28. grievous revolters--literally, "contumacious of the contumacious," that is, most contumacious, the Hebrew mode of expressing a superlative. So "the strong among the mighty," that is, the strongest (Eze 32:21). See Jer 5:23; Ho 4:16.
walking with slanders-- (Jer 9:4). "Going about for the purpose of slandering" [MAURER].
brass, &c.--that is, copper. It and "iron" being the baser and harder metals express the debased and obdurate character of the Jews (Isa 48:4; 60:17).

jeremiah 6:28 All of them are stubbornly rebellious, Going about as a talebearer. [They are] bronze and iron; They, all of them, are corrupt.
