19 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
(A)If you return, then I will restore you—
(B)You will stand before Me;
And (C)if you extract the precious from the worthless,
You will become [a]My spokesman.
They, for their part, may turn to you,
But as for you, you are not to turn to them.
20 Then I will (D)make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;
And though they fight against you,
They will not prevail over you;
For (E)I am with you to save you
And rescue you,” declares the Lord.
21 “So I will (F)rescue you from the hand of the wicked,
And I will (G)redeem you from the [b]grasp of the violent.”

19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
(A)“If you return, I will restore you,
    and you shall (B)stand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
    you shall be as my mouth.
They shall turn to you,
    but you shall not turn to them.
20 (C)And I will make you to this people
    a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you,
    (D)but they shall not prevail over you,
(E)for I am with you
    to save you and deliver you,
declares the Lord.
21 (F)I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
    and redeem you from the grasp of (G)the ruthless.”
