Isaiah 54:17 Meaning — No Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
What does Isaiah 54:17 mean?
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. Isaiah 54:17 is a favourite promise of protection — and it is important to read it carefully.
It does not say no weapon will be formed. Opposition will come; tongues will rise. What it promises is that they shall not prosper — they will not ultimately succeed against God's people. The attacks are real, but their final triumph is not.
The verse ends by calling this the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me. This is not a charm against all hardship, but the settled security of those who belong to God: what comes against them cannot have the last word, because their standing rests on him.
