Yahweh Confirms Jeremiah's Call
16 In this way I will pass sentence on the people of Jerusalem and Judah because of all their wickedness.

Go and tell these people everything I instruct you to say. Do not be terrified of them, or I will give you good reason to be terrified of them. 18 I, the Lord, hereby promise to make you as strong as a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall. You will be able to stand up against all who live in the land, including the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and all the people of the land.
