Jeremiah 1:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ Brace yourself, Jeremiah!
Stand up, and say to them whatever I tell you to say.
Don’t be terrified in their presence,
or I will make you ⌞even more⌟ terrified in their presence.
¹⁸ Today I have made you like a fortified city,
an iron pillar, and a bronze wall.
You will be able to stand up to the whole land.
You will be able to stand up to Judah’s kings,
its officials, its priests, and ⌞all⌟ the common people.
¹⁹ They will fight you, but they will not defeat you.
I am with you, and I will rescue you,” declares the Lord.
