The first weapon that we notice is an old one--Infidelity. Nothing can be more palpable than this--humanity refuses to be infidel. 2. Behold another of these hostile implements is the weapon of persecution. A weak weapon, nevertheless. II. AS REGARDS THE CHURCH INDIVIDUALLY “NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST IT SHALL PROSPER.” 1.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 54:17

Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
