Context of Isaiah 54:14

12I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. 13Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity. In righteousness you will be established, far from oppression, for you will have no fear. Terror will be far removed, for it will not come near you. 15If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me; whoever assails you will fall before you. 16Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc.
