From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Metaphorically the walls and fortifications of the city represent the prophet’s power of patiently enduring the attacks of his enemies; while the iron pillar, supporting the whole weight of the roofJudges 16:29;1 Kings 7:21), signifies that no trials or sufferings would crush his steadfast will.
