For se, jeg har denne dag gjort deg til en festningsby, en jernsøyle, og bronsevegger mot hele landet, mot kongene av Juda, mot fyrstene der, mot prestene der, og mot folket i landet.
For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
