Isaiah 54:10-17
New American Standard Bible
10 For the (A)mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My [a]favor will not be removed from you,
Nor will My (B)covenant of peace be shaken,”
Says (C)the Lord who has compassion on you.
11 “(D)Afflicted one, storm-tossed, and (E)not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And I will (F)lay your foundations with [b](G)sapphires.
12 Moreover, I will make your battlements of [c]rubies,
And your gates of [d]crystal,
And your entire [e]wall of precious stones.
13 (H)All your sons will be [f]taught by the Lord;
And the well-being of your sons will be (I)great.
14 In (J)righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from (K)oppression, for you will (L)not fear;
And from (M)terror, for it will not come near you.
15 If anyone fiercely attacks you, it will not be from Me.
(N)Whoever attacks you will fall because of you.
16 Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals
And produces a weapon for its work;
And I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin.
17 (O)No weapon that is formed against you will succeed;
And you will condemn (P)every tongue that [g]accuses you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their (Q)vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.

10 For the mountains may move
and the hills disappear,
but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”
says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
11 “O storm-battered city,
troubled and desolate!
I will rebuild you with precious jewels
and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.
12 I will make your towers of sparkling rubies,
your gates of shining gems,
and your walls of precious stones.
13 I will teach all your children,
and they will enjoy great peace.
14 You will be secure under a government that is just and fair.
Your enemies will stay far away.
You will live in peace,
and terror will not come near.
15 If any nation comes to fight you,
it is not because I sent them.
Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.
16 “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.
17 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!

10 Though the mountains be shaken(A)
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(B) for you will not be shaken(C)

I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,[a](J)
your foundations(K) with lapis lazuli.(L)

Tyranny(R) will be far from you;
you will have nothing to fear.(S)
Terror(T) will be far removed;
it will not come near you.

whoever attacks you will surrender(U) to you.
16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith(V)
who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon(W) fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer(X) to wreak havoc;
17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,(Y)
and you will refute(Z) every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants(AA) of the Lord,
and this is their vindication(AB) from me,”
declares the Lord.

Isaiah 54:10-17
The Voice
Isaiah 54:10-17
The Voice
10 Even if the mountains heave up from their anchors,
and the hills quiver and shake, I will not desert you.
You can rely on My enduring love;
My covenant of peace will stand forever.
So says the Eternal One, whose love won’t give up on you.
This promise stands to God’s covenant people: nothing can happen to them unless God wills it and makes it so. Only if they invite it will destruction come. Throughout this time of rebellion and punishment God makes it clear that they hold their fate in their own hands. And if they haven’t understood the message, God tells them who will do the nation-building—an unworldly restoration. He says that He provides the raw materials; He creates the tools and provides the skills with which the builders build. He alone is responsible for restoring the nation. And no matter what charges the adversary may concoct, God will not be put off. Even though Israel rebelled and was unfaithful at one time, that is in the past. The future is sure: God’s faithfulness to His covenant, His enduring love for His people, will stand for all time. So the challenge goes out from the prophet to God’s people—speaking on God’s authority—to align themselves with God, accept Him as God, and they will surely win.
11 Eternal One: Ah, Jerusalem, so miserable and distressed! I will rebuild you
with floors of shimmering mosaics, set sapphires in your foundations.
12 I will decorate your towers with rubies,
and your gates will sparkle with all manner of precious gems.
Costly jewels will adorn the entire wall that circles your precincts.
13 Every one of your children, the people who call you home,
will be students of the Eternal; oh, they’ll be so happy and live in peace!
14 This time, you will be founded and grounded
on right thought, speech, and action.
And no one will trouble you, abuse or oppress you;
you will know no fear and have no worries.
15 If a nation marches against you,
know that I am not behind it.
Anyone foolish enough to challenge you will fall to you.
16 I have created the blacksmith
who readies the fire and forges weapons for wars;
And I have created the destroyer to ravage and ruin.
17 But no instrument forged against you will be allowed to hurt you,
and no voice raised to condemn you will successfully prosecute you.
It’s that simple; this is how it will be for the servants of the Eternal;
I will vindicate them.
