Jeremiah 1:17-19
New King James Version
17 “Therefore (A)prepare yourself and arise,
And speak to them all that I command you.
(B)Do not be dismayed before their faces,
Lest I dismay you before them.
18 For behold, I have made you this day
(C)A fortified city and an iron pillar,
And bronze walls against the whole land—
Against the kings of Judah,
Against its princes,
Against its priests,
And against the people of the land.
19 They will fight against you,
But they shall not prevail against you.
For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”

Do not be afraid of them,[a] or I will shatter you before[b] them. 18 Now look, I have made you today[c] as a fortified city and as an iron pillar and a bronze wall[d] against all the land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. 19 And they will fight against you but they will not prevail against you, for I am with you,” declares[e] Yahweh, “to deliver you.”
