Jeremiah 1:16-18
International Standard Version

to the works of their own[a] hands.”[b]
The Lord’s Assurance to Jeremiah
17 “As for you, get ready![c] Stand up and tell them everything that I’ve commanded you. Don’t be frightened as you face them, or I’ll frighten you right in front of them.
18 “As for me, today I’m making you a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
