Isaiah 54:16-17
International Standard Version
16 Look! It is I who have created the blacksmith
who fans coals in the fire,
and produces a weapon for his purpose.
It[a] is I who have created the ravager to wreak havoc;
17 no weapon that is forged against you will be effective.[b]
This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants,
and their righteousness from me,”
says the Lord.

who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon(B) fit for its work.
