Isaiah 54:15-17
King James Version
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
16 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.
17 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.

Isaiah 54:15-17
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.
Isaiah 54:15-17
Christian Standard Bible
15 If anyone attacks you,
it is not from me;
whoever attacks you
will fall before you.
16 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.
17 No weapon formed against you will succeed,
and you will refute any accusation[a]
raised against you in court.
This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants,(A)
and their vindication is from me.”(B)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
