Isaiah 54:15-17
International Standard Version
15 Watch! If anyone does attack you,
it will not be from me;
whoever may attack[a] you will fall[b] because of you.
16 Look! It is I who have created the blacksmith
who fans coals in the fire,
and produces a weapon for his purpose.
It[c] is I who have created the ravager to wreak havoc;
17 no weapon that is forged against you will be effective.[d]
This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants,
and their righteousness from me,”
says the Lord.

New International Version
15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
whoever attacks you will surrender(A) to you.
16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith(B)
who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon(C) fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer(D) to wreak havoc;
17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,(E)
and you will refute(F) every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants(G) of the Lord,
and this is their vindication(H) from me,”
declares the Lord.
