Jeremiah 15:21

19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.

20 Then 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.

I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
