Yahweh’s Answer

19 Therefore thus says Yahweh,

(A)If you return, then I will cause you to return—
(B)Before Me you will stand;
And (C)if you extract the precious from the worthless,
You will become [a]My mouthpiece.
They for their part may turn to you,
But as for you, you must not turn to them.
20 Then I will (D)make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;
And they will fight against you,
But they will not prevail against you,
For (E)I am with you to save you
And deliver you,” declares Yahweh.
21 “So I will (F)deliver you from the hand of the evil ones,
And I will (G)redeem you from the [b]grasp of the ruthless ones.”

19 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
(A)If you return, then I will restore you—
(B)You will stand before Me;
And (C)if you extract the precious from the worthless,
You will become [a]My spokesman.
They, for their part, may turn to you,
But as for you, you are not to turn to them.
20 Then I will (D)make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;
And though they fight against you,
They will not prevail over you;
For (E)I am with you to save you
And rescue you,” declares the Lord.
21 “So I will (F)rescue you from the hand of the wicked,
And I will (G)redeem you from the [b]grasp of the violent.”
