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 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.”
