1:17 “But you, Jeremiah, 1 get yourself ready! 2 Go and tell these people everything I instruct you to say. Do not be terrified of them, or I will give you good reason to be terrified of them. 3 1:18 I, the Lord, 4 hereby promise to make you 5 as strong as a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall. You will be able to stand up against all who live in 6 the land, including the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and all the people of the land. 1:19 They will attack you but they will not be able to overcome you, for I will be with you to rescue you,” says the Lord.
15:19 Because of this, the Lord said, 7
“You must repent of such words and thoughts!
If you do, I will restore you to the privilege of serving me. 8
If you say what is worthwhile instead of what is worthless,
I will again allow you to be my spokesman. 9
They must become as you have been.
You must not become like them. 10
15:20 I will make you as strong as a wall to these people,
a fortified wall of bronze.
They will attack you,
but they will not be able to overcome you.
For I will be with you to rescue you and deliver you,” 11
says the Lord.
15:21 “I will deliver you from the power of the wicked.
I will free you from the clutches of violent people.”
