18 Why is my pain perpetual,and my wound incurable,which refuses to be healed?Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,like waters that fail?
19 Therefore the Lord says,“If you return, then I will bring you again,that you may stand before me;and if you take out the precious from the vile,you will be as my mouth.They will return to you,but you will not return to them.
20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall.They will fight against you,but they will not prevail against you;for I am with you to save youand to deliver you,” says the Lord.
21 “I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”
