Jeremiah 15:19-21
New American Standard Bible
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.”

Jeremiah 15:19-21
Common English Bible
19 Therefore, the Lord proclaims:
If you return to me, I will take you back
and let you stand before me.
If you utter what is worthwhile,
not what is worthless,
you will be my spokesman.
They will turn to you,
not you to them!
20 I will make you a sturdy bronze wall
against these people.
They will attack you,
but they won’t triumph,
because I am with you
to protect and rescue you,
declares the Lord.
21 I will rescue you from the hand of the wicked;
I will redeem you from the grasp of the violent.
