19 So this is what the Lord says:
“If you ·change your heart and return to me [L return/repent], I will ·take you back [L return to you].
    Then you may ·serve me [L stand before me].
And if you [C Jeremiah] speak things that ·have worth [are precious],
    not useless words,
    then you may ·speak for me [L be like my mouth].
Let them [C the people of Judah] turn to you,
    but you must not ·change and be like them [L turn to them].
20 I will make you as strong as a wall to this people,
    ·as strong [fortified] as a wall of bronze [v. 12].
They will fight against you,
    but they will not ·defeat [prevail over] you,
because I am with you.
    I will ·save [have victory for] you and ·rescue [protect] you,” says the Lord.
21 “I will ·rescue [protect] you from ·these wicked people [L the hand/control of evil people]
    and redeem you from ·these cruel people [L the hand of the violent].”
