    you shall be far from oppression; indeed, you shall not fear;
    and from terror; indeed, it shall not come near you.(A)

16 See, it is I who have created the smith
    who blows the fire of coals
    and produces a weapon fit for its purpose;

    and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
    and their vindication from me, says the Lord.(C)
