Isaiah

Isaiah 54:15–17

¹⁵If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me;

whoever assails you will fall before you.

¹⁶Behold, I have created the craftsman

who fans the coals into flame

and forges a weapon fit for its task;

and I have created the destroyer

to wreak havoc.

¹⁷No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.

This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,

and their vindication is from Me,”

declares the LORD.
