Isaiah
"In righteousness you shall be established"
Text: Isaiah 54:14
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ISRAEL
The LORD gave further words of assurance concerning the establishment of Israel. These were words that must bring great assurance to the heart.
“All your children shall be taught by the LORD,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.”
