Jeremiah 1:18
For behold I have made you this day,
A fortified city and an iron pillar,
And bronze walls against the whole land,
Against the kings of Judah , against its princes,
Against it's priests, and against the people of the land.
Being a prophet meant being unpopular. Prophets were abused, murdered, chased, threatened - all because they were calling the people to repent and follow God. But here God is telling Jeremiah that He is going to protect him. We should all take heed to that.
