Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 “Now, get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them(A) or I will cause you to cower before them. 18 Today, I am the One who has made you a fortified city,(B) an iron pillar, and bronze walls(C) against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the population. 19 They will fight against you but never prevail over you,(D) since I am with you to rescue you.”(E)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

International Standard Version
The Lord’s Assurance to Jeremiah
17 “As for you, get ready![a] Stand up and tell them everything that I’ve commanded you. Don’t be frightened as you face them, or I’ll frighten you right in front of them.
18 “As for me, today I’m making you a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. 19 They’ll fight against you, but they won’t prevail against you, because I am with you,” declares the Lord, “to deliver you.”
