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.
No weapon made to hurt you will succeed, and you will prove wrong every person who accuses you in court. This is the inheritance that belongs to the LORD's servants, and I am the one who makes them right with me, says the LORD.
God is promising His people that no attack against them will ultimately succeed, and He will vindicate them against all accusations.
