Yahweh’s Answer
19 Therefore thus says Yahweh,
“aIf you return, then I will cause you to return—
bBefore Me you will stand;
And cif you extract the precious from the worthless,
You will become My mouthpiece.
They for their part may turn to you,
But as for you, you must not turn to them.
20 Then I will amake you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;
And they will fight against you,
But they will not prevail against you,
For bI am with you to save you
And deliver you,” declares Yahweh.
21 “So I will adeliver you from the hand of the evil ones,
And I will bredeem you from the grasp of the ruthless ones.”
