15Whoever attacks you

does it without my consent;

whoever fights against you will fall.

16“I create the blacksmith,

who builds a fire and forges weapons.

I also create the soldier,

who uses the weapons to kill.

17But no weapon will be able to hurt you;

you will have an answer for all who accuse you.

I will defend my servants

and give them victory.”

The Lord has spoken.

Read in Logos
Isaiah 54:17: no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord…

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

If anyone stirs up strife,

it is not from me;

whoever stirs up strife with you

shall fall because of you.

Behold, I have created the smith

who blows the fire of coals

and produces a weapon for its purpose.

I have also created the ravager to destroy;

no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,

and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord

and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;

whoever attacks you will surrender to you.

“See, it is I who created the blacksmith

who fans the coals into flame

and forges a weapon fit for its work.

And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc;

no weapon forged against you will prevail,

and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

and this is their vindication from me,”

declares the Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

If anyone attacks you,

it is not from me;

whoever attacks you

will fall before you.

Look, I have created the craftsman

who blows on the charcoal fire

and produces a weapon suitable for its task;

and I have created the destroyer to cause havoc.

No weapon formed against you will succeed,

and you will refute any accusation

raised against you in court.

This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants,

and their vindication is from me.”

This is the Lord’s declaration.

NLTNew Living Translation

If any nation comes to fight you,

it is not because I sent them.

Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.

“I have created the blacksmith

who fans the coals beneath the forge

and makes the weapons of destruction.

And I have created the armies that destroy.

But in that coming day

no weapon turned against you will succeed.

You will silence every voice

raised up to accuse you.

These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord;

their vindication will come from me.

I, the Lord, have spoken!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

If indeed one attacks, it is not from me;

whoever attacks you shall fall because of you.

Look! I myself have created the craftsman who blows the fire of coals,

and who produces a weapon for his work;

also I myself have created the destroyer to destroy.

Every weapon formed against you shall not succeed,

and you shall declare guilty every tongue that rises against you for judgment.

This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh,

and their legal right from me,”

declares Yahweh.

KJV 1900King James Version

Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me:

Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

Behold, I have created the smith

That bloweth the coals in the fire,

And that bringeth forth an instrument for his work;

And I have created the waster to destroy.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;

And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

And their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
