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 Yahweh.
