Isaiah 54:14 - Exposition

In righteousness shalt thou be established ; rather, through righteousness. "There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked" ( Isaiah 48:22 ); and conversely, where righteousness abounds, peace prevails, and the nation "is established." Thou shalt be far from oppression; rather, be thou far from anxiety (Delitzsch). Thou shalt not fear ; rather, thou needest not fear. There is no danger—nothing to be afraid of. "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain" ( Isaiah 11:9 ). So long as thou art "established through righteousness," there shall no harm happen unto thee.
