[Oe List ...] Iron Man Reference

[Marilyn R Crocker]

Hi Jim,

In the New International Version, Jeremiah 1:18: "Today I have made you a
fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the
whole land......"  As I recall we often paraphrased (or perhaps quoted
another translation) "God has set you like an iron pillar......"or, in
other words an iron man, or woman.
