Jeremiah 1.17-19 of Tuesday August 29, 2023

A A

The word of the Lord was addressed to me, saying, “Gird up your loins; stand up and tell the people everything that I command you. Do not break down before them, or I will break you before them.

“And I for my part have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall, against the whole land — against the kings of Judah, its princes, its priests, and the people of the land.

“They will fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”

V 0.6.1
