Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 1 of Jeremiah. The two initial visions, the almond branch and the boiling pot, function as signs of divine vigilance and judgment coming from the north. Jeremiah must announce calamity against Judah because of its idolatry, but he receives the promise that God will make him like a fortified city. The prophetic calling includes opposition, but also the assurance of divine presence.

So begürte nun deine Lenden und mache dich auf und predige ihnen alles, was ich dich heiße. Erschrick nicht vor ihnen, auf daß ich dich nicht erschrecke vor ihnen;
Tú pues, ciñe tus lomos, y te levantarás, y les hablarás todo lo que te mandaré: no temas delante de ellos, porque no te haga yo quebrantar delante de ellos.
Pero tú, cíñete la cintura, levántate y diles todo lo que yo te ordene. No te acobardes ante ellos, no sea que yo te haga acobardarte delante de ellos.
Et toi, ceins tes reins, lève-toi, et dis-leur tout ce que je t'ordonnerai. Ne tremble pas en leur présence, de peur que je ne te fasse trembler devant eux.
Tu adunque, cingiti i lombi, e levati, e di’ loro tutto ciò che io ti comanderò; non aver spavento di loro, che talora io non ti fiacchi nel lor cospetto.
Tu, pois, cinge os teus lombos, e levanta-te, e dize-lhes tudo quanto eu te mandar; não te espantes diante deles, para que eu não te envergonhe diante deles.
所以你當束腰,起來,將我所吩咐你的一切話都告訴他們;不要因他們驚惶,免得我使你在他們面前驚惶。
