Context of Isaiah 54:14

12And I will make your battlements of rubies, And your gates of [shining] beryl stones, And all your [barrier] walls of precious stones. 13And all your [spiritual] sons will be disciples [of the Lord], And great will be the well-being of your sons. You will be firmly established in righteousness: You will be far from [even the thought of] oppression, for you will not fear, And from terror, for it will not come near you. 15If anyone fiercely attacks you it will not be from Me. Whoever attacks you will fall because of you. 16Listen carefully, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals And who produces a weapon for its purpose; And I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin.
