Isaiah 54:16 in Context — Isaiah 54

14 Com justiça serás firmada; afasta-te da opressão, porque já não temerás; assim como também do assombro, porque este não se aproximará de ti.

15 Se alguém lutar [contra ti] ,não será por mim; quem lutar contra ti cairá por causa de ti.

16 Eis que fui eu que criei ao ferreiro que assopra as brasas no fogo, e que produz a ferramenta para sua obra; também fui eu que criei ao destruidor, para causar ruína.

17 Nenhuma ferramenta preparada contra ti terá sucesso; e toda língua que se levantar contra ti em juízo, tu a condenarás; esta é a herança dos servos do SENHOR; e a justiça deles [provém] de mim, diz o SENHOR.
