Isaiah 54:17
No Weapon Formed Against You
Isaiah 54:17 promises that "no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper" — God's people are ultimately secure against every attack, an inheritance of protection from the Lord.
Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)
“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 Isaiah 54:17 means
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn." The promise does not say weapons will never form — it says they will not ultimately succeed. Attacks come; they do not have the final word.
It closes: "This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD." Protection here is an inheritance, part of belonging to God. It has become a favourite declaration verse for anyone facing opposition, slander, or spiritual attack.
