Reprobate--silver so full of alloy as to be utterly worthless (Isa 1:22). The Jews were fit only for rejection. The prophet stood at the gate of the temple in order that the multitudes from the country might hear him. His life was threatened, it appears from Jer 26:1-9, for this prophecy, denouncing the fate of Shiloh as about to befall the temple at Jerusalem. The prophecy given in detail here is summarily referred to there.
