Isaiah 54:16-17
New English Translation
16 Look, I create the craftsman,
who fans the coals into a fire
and forges a weapon.[a]
I create the destroyer so he might devastate.
17 No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed;
you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you.[b]
This is what the Lord will do for his servants—
I will vindicate them,”[c]
says the Lord.
