Jeremiah 1:16-18

Names of God Bible

¹⁶ I will pass sentence on my people because of all their wickedness.
    They abandoned me,
        burned incense to other gods,
            and worshiped what their hands have made.
¹⁷ Brace yourself, Jeremiah!
    Stand up, and say to them whatever I tell you to say.
    Don’t be terrified in their presence,
        or I will make you even more terrified in their presence.
¹⁸ Today I have made you like a fortified city,
    an iron pillar, and a bronze wall.
        You will be able to stand up to the whole land.
        You will be able to stand up to Judah’s kings,
            its officials, its priests, and all the common people.
