Context of Jeremiah 15:21

19Therefore, this is what the Lord says: “If you return, then I will restore you-- You will stand before Me; And if you extract the precious from the worthless, You will become My spokesman. They, for their part, may turn to you, But as for you, you are not to turn to them. 20Then I will make you to this people A fortified wall of bronze; And though they fight against you, They will not prevail over you; For I am with you to save you And rescue you,” declares the Lord. “So I will rescue you from the hand of the wicked, And I will redeem you from the grasp of the violent.”
