THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Isaiah 54:16 in context

Isaiah 54:13–17

All your children will be taught by the LORD,

and your children’s peace will be great.

You will be established in righteousness.

You will be far from oppression,

for you will not be afraid,

and far from terror,

for it shall not come near you.

Behold, they may gather together, but not by me.

Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.

Selected verse

“Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame,

and forges a weapon for his work;

and I have created the destroyer to destroy.

No weapon that is formed against you will prevail;

and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment.

This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants,

and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
