Isaiah 54:16
Douay-Rheims
Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created the killer to destroy.
Ibn Ezra
Behold, I have created the smith, etc. It is a figurative expression. ומוציא כלי למעשהו And that bringeth forth a vessel for its work. That bringeth forth a vessel out of the fire, to finish it. And I have also created the waster to destroy the instrument of the smith.
