BrTrBehold, I have made thee this day as a strong city, and as a brazen wall, strong against all the kings of Juda, and the princes thereof, and the people of the land.

ULTAnd I—behold!—I have given you today a city of fortification and an iron pillar and bronze walls against all the land—for the kings of Judah, for its officials, for its priests, and for the people of the land.

USTBut listen! I will cause you to be strong, like a city that has strong walls around it. You will be as strong as an iron pillar or a bronze wall. Even the royal officials, the priests, and the general populace will not be able to defeat you.

BSBNow behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.


OEBAs for Me, behold! This day
 ⇔ As a fortified city I make thee,
 ⇔ A pillar of iron, a wall of bronze,
 ⇔ Against the whole of the land–
 ⇔ The kings and the courtiers of Judah,
 ⇔ The priests and the folk of the land.

WEBBEFor behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.

NETI, the Lord, hereby promise to make you as strong as a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall. You will be able to stand up against all who live in the land, including the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and all the people of the land.

LSVAnd I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;

FBVLook! Today I have made you like a fortified city, a pillar of iron, a wall of bronze to stand against the whole country—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the country.

T4TBut listen! I will cause you to be strong, like [MET] a city that has strong walls around it. You will be as strong as [MET] an iron pillar or a bronze wall. None of the kings or officials or priests will be able to defeat you.

LEBNow look, I have made you today[fn] as a fortified city and as an iron pillar and a bronze wall[fn] against all the land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
