18 But as for me, here I have made you today a fortified city and an iron pillar and copper walls+ against all the land,+ toward the kings of Judah, toward her princes, toward her priests and toward the people of the land.*+

9 Like a diamond,* harder than flint,+ I have made* your forehead. You must not be afraid of them,+ and you must not be struck with terror at their faces,+ for they are a rebellious house.”+
