Isaiah 54:16
_ _ The workman that forms “weapons against thee” (Isaiah 54:17) is wholly in My power, therefore thou needest not fear, having Me on thy side.
_ _ for his work — rather, “by his labor [Horsley]. “According to the exigencies of his work” [Maurer].
_ _ waster to destroy — (Isaiah 10:5-7; Isaiah 37:26, Isaiah 37:27; Isaiah 45:1-6). Desolating conquerors who use the “instruments” framed by “the smith.” The repetition of the “I” implies, however, something in the latter half of the verse contrasted with the former understand it, therefore, thus: “I have in My power both him who frames arms and him who destroys them (arms)” [Rosenmuller]. |
Isaiah 54:16
The smith — Both the smith that makes warlike instruments, and the soldier that uses them, are my creatures, and totally at my command, and therefore they cannot hurt you without my leave. The waster — To destroy only whom and when I please. |

Behold, I have created the (p) smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
(p) Signifying by this that man can do nothing, but so far as God gives power: for seeing that all are his creatures, he must govern and guide them. |
