Jeremiah 1:16-19

English Standard Version

¹⁶ And ^(A)I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil ^(B)in forsaking me. ^(C)They have made offerings to other gods and ^(D)worshiped the works of their own hands. ¹⁷ But you, ^(E)dress yourself for work;^[a] arise, and ^(F)say to them everything that I command you. ^(G)Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them. ¹⁸ And I, behold, I make you this day ^(H)a fortified city, ^(I)an iron pillar, and ^(J)bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. ^19 (K)They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for ^(L)I am with you, declares the Lord, to deliver you.”
