Jeremiah 1:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶“I’ll pronounce my judgments against them

They have forsaken me,
    they have burned incense to other gods,
and they have bowed down in worship
    to the works of their own^[a] hands.”^[b]

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.
