This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and as they cannot do any thing against thee without my leave, so I assure thee I will not suffer them to do it; and if any smith shall make any weapons to be employed against thee, he shall not succeed in it.
And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn; and I will deliver thee not only from the fury of the war, but also from the strife of tongues, from all the threatenings, and boasts, and reproaches of thine enemies, and from all the claims and pretences which they have of any right and power over thee. So thine enemies shall neither prevail against thee by violence, nor by pretences of justice.
This is the heritage; this blessed condition described in this chapter is the portion allotted to them by me.
Their righteousness; either,
1. The reward or fruit of their righteousness, as righteousness is used, Psa_112:3,9. Or,
2. Their right or the righteous administration of all their concerns, whereby they are preserved from all manner of oppressions, as righteousness was used, Isa_54:14. Is of me; I give it, and I will continue it to them; and who then can take it away from them?
