Jeremiah 15:19-21
New Living Translation
19 This is how the Lord responds:
“If you return to me, I will restore you
so you can continue to serve me.
If you speak good words rather than worthless ones,
you will be my spokesman.
You must influence them;
do not let them influence you!
20 They will fight against you like an attacking army,
but I will make you as secure as a fortified wall of bronze.
They will not conquer you,
for I am with you to protect and rescue you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
21 Yes, I will certainly keep you safe from these wicked men.
I will rescue you from their cruel hands.”
Jeremiah 15:19-21

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.”
