Jeremiah 1:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 But you, prepare yourself;
stand up and tell them
all that I command you.
Do not be terrified on account of them,
or I will terrify you before them;
18 For I am the one who today
makes you a fortified city,
A pillar of iron, a wall of bronze,
against the whole land:
Against Judah’s kings and princes,
its priests and the people of the land.(A)
19 They will fight against you, but not prevail over you,
for I am with you to deliver you—oracle of the Lord.
