Jeremiah 1:18-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ My power will make you strong
    like a fortress
    or a column of iron
    or a wall of bronze.
You will oppose all of Judah,
including its kings and leaders,
    its priests and people.
¹⁹ They will fight back,
    but they won't win.
I, the Lord, give my word—
    I won't let them harm you.
