“For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.”
The invulnerability—'No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh and their vindication from me, says Yahweh'—assures that Zion will be invulnerable to hostile weapons and testimony. The promise that weapons shall 'not prosper' suggests divine protection. The ability to 'confute every tongue' suggests rhetorical and judicial vindication. The designation as 'servants of Yahweh' connects this restoration to the servant theology. This verse makes restoration complete through protection from external threat and rebuttal of false accusation.
