“All your children
Shall be taught
By Yahweh.
Great shall be the prosperity
Of your children.
In righteousness,
You shall be established.
You shall be far from oppression.
You shall not fear.
Terror shall not come near you.
If anyone stirs up strife,
It is not from me.
Whoever stirs up strife
With you
Shall fall
Because of you.”
Second Isaiah says the children at the new Jerusalem will be taught directly by Yahweh. They will have great prosperity. Righteousness shall prevail. There will be no oppression, fear, or terror because of the established righteousness of this city and its people. However, there is a caution. If anyone stirs up strife, it is their own fault. Yahweh will not stir up any arguments. If they are not righteous, they will have to take care of it themselves.
