Jeremiah 1:14-19

14Then the Lord said to me, “1Out of the north the evil 2will be unleashed on all the inhabitants of the land.

15For, behold, I am calling 3all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” declares the Lord; “and they will come and 4place, each one of them, his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls around, and against all the 5cities of Judah.

16And I will 6pronounce My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, since they have 7abandoned Me and have 8 9offered sacrifices to other gods, and worshiped the 10works of their own hands.

17Now, 11belt your garment around your waist and arise, and speak to them all that I command you. 12Do not be dismayed before them, or I will make you dismayed before them.

18Now behold, I have made you today like a fortified city and like a pillar of iron and walls of bronze against the whole land, to the kings of Judah, to its leaders, to its priests, and to the people of the land.

19And they will fight against you but they will not overcome you, for 13I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord.
