16 I will pronounce my sentence against themfor all their wickedness in forsaking me,In burning incense to other gods,in bowing down to the works of their hands.
17 But you, prepare yourself;stand up and tell themall that I command you.Do not be terrified on account of them,or I will terrify you before them;
18 For I am the one who todaymakes you a fortified city,A pillar of iron, a wall of bronze,against the whole land:Against Judah’s kings and princes,its priests and the people of the land.
19 They will fight against you, but not prevail over you,for I am with you to deliver you—oracle of the Lord.
