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
Lexham English Bible
19 Therefore thus says Yahweh,
“If you turn back, then I will take you back.
You will stand before me.[a]
And if you utter what is precious and not what is worthless,
you will be as my mouth.
They will turn back to you,
and you will not turn back to them.
20 And I will make you to this people
a wall of fortified bronze,
and they will fight against you,
but they will not prevail over you,
for I am with you, to save you,
and to deliver you,” declares[b] Yahweh.
21 “And I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked,
and I will redeem you from the hand of the tyrant.”
