19 Therefore Yahweh says,

“If you return, then I will bring you again,
    that you may stand before me;
and if you take out the precious from the vile,
    you will be as my mouth.
They will return to you,
    but you will not return to them.
20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall.
    They will fight against you,
    but they will not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you
    and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.
21 “I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
    and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”

19 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
    “If you repent, I’ll take you back
        and you will stand before me.
If you speak what is worthwhile,[a]
    instead of what is worthless,
        then you will be my spokesman.[b]
People[c] will turn to you,
    but you aren’t to turn to them.
20 I’ll make you a fortified wall of bronze to this people.
    They’ll fight against you,
but they won’t prevail against you,
    for I am with you to save you
        and deliver you,”
21 So I’ll deliver you from the hand of the wicked,
    and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
