Context — God's Assurance of Protectiongenerated

14In righteousness you will be established, far from oppression, for you will have no fear. Terror will be far removed, for it will not come near you.
15If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me; whoever assails you will fall before you.
16Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc.
17No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

Isaiah 54:15 is part of a passage where the Lord reassures Israel of His protection. The surrounding verses emphasize the establishment of righteousness and the removal of fear. God declares that any attack against His people is not sanctioned by Him, and those who rise against them will ultimately fall. This is a powerful declaration of divine support and security for Israel.

The Key Word גּוֹר, Gorgenerated

The word גּוּר (Gor) is a verb meaning 'to sojourn' or 'to fear'. In this context, it conveys the idea of someone who gathers against or attacks. It implies a sense of hostility or conflict, indicating that those who oppose Israel are acting out of fear or aggression.

The parsing as an infinitive absolute emphasizes the certainty of the action, suggesting a strong and definitive stance against those who would attack.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb יִפּוֹל (yi.Pol), meaning 'he will fall', governs the main clause, with two subordinate clauses detailing the conditions of the attack and the identity of the attacker. The structure emphasizes the assurance of defeat for those who oppose.

The word order places the subject מִי (mi, 'whoever') at the beginning, highlighting the inclusivity of the statement — anyone who attacks will face consequences.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates גּוּר as προσήλυτοι (prosēlytoi), meaning 'proselytes' or 'strangers'. This choice suggests a broader interpretation, indicating that those who come against Israel may not be native but rather outsiders who threaten.

This translation reflects a nuanced understanding of the enemy, emphasizing that they are not just any attackers but those who have chosen to oppose Israel.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

15. The verse is somewhat difficult. The rendering “gather together” can hardly be defended, and moreover it does not suit the construction (“against,” in the second line, is really “with”). The verb is perhaps best explained as a by-form of a root meaning to “stir up” (strife) or pick a quarrel (Proverbs 15:18). The sense would be: If (any) should stir up strife (it is) not of me; whosoever stirs up strife with thee shall fall &c. (see R.V. and marg.) fall because of thee] or perhaps “fall upon thee” to his own ruin (cf. ch. Isaiah 8:14 f.). R.V. marg. suggests “fall away to thee,” i.e. go over to thy side, which is the sense given by some of the ancient versions. The phrase has this…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text aligns closely with the Septuagint, with 6 of the 10 words matching. The Dead Sea Scrolls also support the MT, with the 1Qisaa scroll containing 10 words that largely agree with the MT, while the 4Q57 scroll shows some restoration but maintains the core message.
