16“See, it is I who created the blacksmithb

who fans the coals into flame

and forges a weaponc fit for its work.

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

17no weapon forged against you will prevail,e

and you will refutef every tongue that accuses you.

This is the heritage of the servantsg of the Lord,

and this is their vindicationh from me,”

declares the Lord.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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

“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

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, 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.
