17 “Get up and prepare for action.
    Go out and tell them everything I tell you to say.
Do not be afraid of them,
    or I will make you look foolish in front of them.

    like a fortified city that cannot be captured,
    like an iron pillar or a bronze wall.
You will stand against the whole land—

19 They will fight you, but they will fail.
    For I am with you, and I will take care of you.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!”
