Jeremiah 1:17 in Context — Jeremiah 1

15 Porque eis que eu convoco todas as famílias dos reinos do norte,diz o SENHOR; e virão, e cada um porá seu trono à entrada das portas de Jerusalém, e junto a todos seus muros ao redor, e em todas as cidades de Judá.

16 E pronunciarei meus juízos contra eles por causa de toda a sua maldade, pois me deixaram, e queimaram incenso a deuses estranhos, e se encurvaram a objetos de suas [próprias] mãos.

17 Tu pois, prepara tua roupa, e te levanta-te; e fala-lhes tudo quanto eu te mandar; não tenhas medo diante deles, para que eu não te faça ter medo diante deles.

18 Porque eis que eu te ponho hoje como cidade fortificada, e como coluna de ferro, e como muro de bronze contra toda esta terra; contra os reis de Judá, seus príncipes, seus sacerdotes, e contra o povo desta terra.

19 E lutarão contra ti, mas não te vencerão; porque eu sou contigo, diz o SENHOR, para te livrar.
