from their fire (ketiv reading in Jeremiah's refining metaphor, qere: from perfect fire)
This textual variant appears in Jeremiah's extended metallurgical metaphor describing Judah's stubborn refusal to be purified. The ketiv reads "from their fire" while the qere suggests "from perfect fire." Either way, the imagery depicts a failed refining process—the bellows blow fiercely, the fire consumes the lead, yet the wicked remain unrefined.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Prepositional phrase involving fire in Jeremiah 6:29, part of the prophet's smelting metaphor for divine judgment. The ketiv suggests "from their fire," perhaps implying Israel's own combustion or consumption. Spanish preserves both readings, acknowledging the textual complexity. The failed refining process illustrates the people's intractable wickedness despite intense disciplinary heat. 1×
