15 Should anyone attack you,
    it will not be my doing,
and anyone who does stir up strife
    will fall before you.
16 It was I who created the blacksmith
    to blow on the coals in the fire
    and produce a weapon suitable for its purpose.
I also created the ravager
    to destroy and wreak havoc.
17 No weapon used against you will prevail,
    and you will refute every accusation
    that is raised in court against you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
    their vindication from me, says the Lord.

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.
