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.

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.
