Jeremiah 1:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ I will declare My sentence for their wicked crimes. My own people have abandoned Me, burning incense to other gods and bowing down to handmade idols.

¹⁷ Now stand with courage, and tell the people exactly what I command. Don’t break down in front of them, or I will break you Myself. ¹⁸ Remember, Jeremiah, this very day I have made you as a fortress, a column as strong as iron, a wall of bronze able to withstand the attacks of the entire nation of Judah—from her kings and leaders to the priests and people.
