Jeremiah 1:17-19

International Standard Version

The Lord’s Assurance to Jeremiah

¹⁷ “As for you, get ready!^[a] Stand up and tell them everything that I’ve commanded you. Don’t be frightened as you face them, or I’ll frighten you right in front of them.

¹⁸ “As for me, today I’m making you a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. ¹⁹ They’ll fight against you, but they won’t prevail against you, because I am with you,” declares the Lord, “to deliver you.”
