“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.
Before you were born I set you apart

I am watching, and I will certainly carry out all my plans.”

For see, today I have made you strong like a fortified city that cannot be captured,
like an iron pillar or a bronze wall.

For I am with you, and I will take care of you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Jeremiah 1, NLT
