The Key Word — יָצַר, yu.Tzargenerated
The verb יָצַר (yu.Tzar) means to form or shape, often used in the context of creation, such as a potter molding clay. It conveys the idea of intentionality in forming something, suggesting that the weapons formed against God's people are not merely random but crafted with purpose.
In this verse, the Hophal form indicates a passive construction, meaning that the weapons are being formed by someone else, emphasizing that these actions are not of God's doing. The implication is that despite the intent behind these weapons, they will not succeed against His people.
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 יָצַר (yu.Tzar) governs the main clause, indicating that no weapon formed against the people will succeed. The structure of the verse is built around this central promise, with additional phrases elaborating on the consequences for those who accuse God's people.
The sentence flows from the assurance of God's protection to the declaration of the heritage of His servants, emphasizing that their vindication comes from Him. The arrangement highlights the relationship between God's promises and the identity of His people.

The use of ἡττήσεις for תָּקוּם indicates a broader understanding of the act of condemning, encompassing not just the idea of rising but also of overcoming and proving wrong.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Isaiah 54:17 states that no weapon formed against the people shall prosper, and every tongue that accuses them will be refuted, emphasizing that this is the heritage of the servants of the LORD. The Septuagint (LXX) agrees with the MT in meaning, matching all 20 words in a word-by-word correspondence, although its word order and articles differ. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q57) partially preserve the verse, with some words restored by an editor, and they align closely with the MT, stating that no weapon against them shall prosper and affirming their heritage as servants of the LORD. Another fragment from the Dead Sea Scrolls (1Qisaa) contains 14 words of the verse, also supporting the MT's message but missing parts of the text. Overall, the MT, LXX, and the Dead Sea Scrolls provide a consistent understanding of this verse, with minor variations in wording and completeness.

20 of the 20 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

9 words on the leather — 2 partly restored, 9 supplied entire by an editor.
כול כלי יוצר עלי׳ך לוא יצלח זואת נחלת עבדי יהוה וצדקת׳ם מאת׳י נואמ יהוה
14 words of the verse are on this fragment. The rest of the verse is not on it.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

gil'-ti: In addition to the general discussion under GUILT (which see), several New Testament passages demand special notice because the word "guilty" is not used in the principal sense of blameworthy, but with one of the two lesser meanings noted above which go to make up the complete idea. In 3 of these passages the King James Version renders "guilty" and the Revised Version (British and American) gives another rendering. In Mt 26:66 the King James Version, Jesus' foes declare he is "guilty of death" (enochos, "liable to"). Here "guilty" simply means the one who is legally held, and the reference is not to the blame but to the consequence. This is a true use of the word in the lower and legal sense. It does not correspond with our higher usage, and so we have it in the Revised Version (British and American) "worthy of death." So…

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
