Jeremiah 1:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 And I will declare unto them my [a]judgments touching all the wickedness of them that have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 Thou therefore truss up thy loins, and arise and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not afraid of their faces, lest I [b]destroy thee before them.
18 For I, behold, I this day have made thee a defenced city, and an [c]iron pillar and walls of brass against the whole land, against the Kings of Judah, and against the Princes thereof, against the Priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
