18 Now behold, I have made you today like a fortified city and like a pillar of iron and walls of bronze against the whole land, to the kings of Judah, to its leaders, to its priests, and to the people of the land. 19 And they will fight against you but they will not overcome you, for (A)I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord.

20 Then I will (A)make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;
And though they fight against you,
They will not prevail over you;
For (B)I am with you to save you
And rescue you,” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah’s Complaint

Lord, You persuaded me and I let myself be persuaded;
You have (A)overcome me and prevailed.
I have become a (B)laughingstock all day long;
Everyone (C)mocks me.
For each time I speak, I cry aloud;
I (D)proclaim violence and destruction,
Because for me the (E)word of the Lord has [a]resulted
In taunting and derision all day long.
