Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 1:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 I will punish my people,
because they are guilty
of turning from me
to worship idols.
17 Jeremiah, get ready!
Go and tell the people
what I command you to say.
Don't be frightened by them,
or I will make you terrified
while they watch.
18 My power will make you strong
like a fortress
or a column of iron
or a wall of bronze.
You will oppose all of Judah,
including its kings and leaders,
its priests and people.

Jeremiah 1:16-18
New International Version
16 I will pronounce my judgments(A) on my people
because of their wickedness(B) in forsaking me,(C)
in burning incense to other gods(D)
and in worshiping(E) what their hands have made.(F)
17 “Get yourself ready! Stand up and say(G) to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified(H) by them, or I will terrify you before them. 18 Today I have made you(I) a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land.
