17Get yourself ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them, or I will terrify you before them.
18Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land— against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.
19They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
— Jeremiah 1:17-19
