From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The steel - “brass,” i. e., bronze. By the “iron” is meant Jeremiah’s intercession; but this cannot alter the divine purpose to send Judah into exile, which is firm as steel and brass. For “brass” seeExodus 25:3note. The alloy of copper and zinc now called brass was entirely unknown to the ancients.
