11 Then the Lord replied,
“I promise to protect you,
    and when disaster comes,
even your enemies
    will beg you for help.”[a]

12 People of Judah,
just as you can't break iron
    mixed with bronze,

    from the north.
13 I will give them
    everything you own,
because you have sinned
    everywhere in your country.
