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

20 “Then I will (A)make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;

Jeremiah’s Complaint
7 O Lord, You have deceived me and I was deceived;
You have (A)overcome me and prevailed.
I have become a (B)laughingstock all day long;
Everyone (C)mocks me.
8 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 reproach and derision all day long.
