17. “Now, get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them or I will cause you to cower before them.
18. Today, I am the One who has made you a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land — against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the population.
19. They will fight against you but never prevail over you, since I am with you to rescue you.” This is the Lord’s declaration.
