17 But you, you must gird your loins, and stand, and speak to them all that I command 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.”

Common English Bible
17 But you must prepare for battle and be ready to utter every word I command you. Don’t be frightened before them, or I will frighten you before them. 18 Today I have made you an armed city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall against the entire land—the kings of Judah, its princes, its priests, and all its people. 19 They will attack you, but they won’t defeat you, because I am with you and will rescue you, declares the Lord.
