Jeremiah

Jeremiah 15:20–21

20Then I will make you a wall to this people,

a fortified wall of bronze;

they will fight against you

but will not overcome you,

for I am with you to save and deliver you,

declares the LORD.

21I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked

and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
