16 “I created blacksmiths.
    They fan the coals into flames of fire.
They make weapons that are fit for their work.
    I also created those who destroy others.
17     But no weapon used against you will succeed.
People might bring charges against you.
    But you will prove that they are wrong.
Those are the things I do for my servants.
    I make everything right for them,”
    announces the Lord.

16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith(A)
    who fans the coals into flame
    and forges a weapon(B) fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer(C) to wreak havoc;
17     no weapon forged against you will prevail,(D)
    and you will refute(E) every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants(F) of the Lord,
    and this is their vindication(G) from me,”
declares the Lord.
