The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 54:17

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

No weapon … every tongue. Whether weapons are used against Israel, or whether she is attacked, as in Sennacherib's time, by "the tongue that speaketh proud things" (Isaiah 36:4-20; Isaiah 37:10-13), the result will he the same. She will triumph over her enemies, and condemn them or put them to shame. Her security is her righteousness, which she derives from Jehovah (comp. Isaiah 45:24, Isaiah 45:25).
