and produces an item for its use;
and I have created-from-nothing the destroyer to destroy.
17No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness which is of me," says Yahweh.
Isaiah Chapter 54
1"Sing, barren one, you who didn't give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn't labor with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married," says Yahweh. 2"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; don't spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. 3For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4"Don't be afraid; for you shall not be ashamed: neither be confounded; for you shall not be disappointed: for you shall forget the shame of your youth; and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more. 5For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he shall be called the God of the whole earth. 6For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is rejected," says your God. 7"For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies I will gather you. 8In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you," says Yahweh your Redeemer. 9"For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. 10For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, nor will my covenant of peace be removed," says Yahweh who has mercy on you. 11"You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires. 12I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. 13All your children shall be taught of Yahweh; and great shall be the peace of your children. 14In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you. 16"See, I have created-from-nothing the smith who blows the fire of coals,and produces an item for its use;
and I have created-from-nothing the destroyer to destroy.
17No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness which is of me," says Yahweh.
