In righteousness
The Hebrew word for "righteousness" is "צְדָקָה" (tsedaqah), which conveys a sense of justice, rightness, and moral integrity. In the context of Isaiah, this righteousness is not self-derived but is a gift from God, establishing His people in a covenant relationship. This righteousness is foundational, suggesting that the community's stability and security are rooted in divine justice and moral order. Historically, Israel's understanding of righteousness was deeply tied to their covenant with God, where obedience to His laws was seen as a reflection of His character.

you will be established
The phrase "you will be established" implies a firm, unshakeable foundation. The Hebrew root "כּוּן" (kun) means to be firm, stable, or secure. This assurance of being established in righteousness speaks to the divine promise of stability and permanence. In the historical context of Israel, this would have been a profound promise, especially after periods of exile and instability. It reflects God's commitment to His people, ensuring that their future is secure under His righteous governance.

far from oppression
"Oppression" in Hebrew is "עֹשֶׁק" (osheq), which refers to unjust treatment or exploitation. The promise that God's people will be "far from oppression" indicates a future where justice prevails, and the people are free from the tyranny and exploitation that characterized much of their history. This is a vision of a society transformed by God's righteousness, where His people live in peace and equity.

you will have no fear
The absence of fear is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature, often associated with the presence and protection of God. The Hebrew word for fear, "פַּחַד" (pachad), denotes dread or terror. The promise that "you will have no fear" is a reassurance of divine protection and peace. In a world where fear was often a constant companion due to war, invasion, and exile, this promise would have been a source of immense comfort and hope.

Terror will be far removed
"Terror" in Hebrew is "מְחִתָּה" (mechittah), which can mean destruction or panic. The assurance that terror will be "far removed" emphasizes the complete removal of threats and the establishment of a secure and peaceful environment. This reflects the eschatological hope of a future where God's kingdom is fully realized, and His peace reigns supreme.

it will not come near you
The phrase "it will not come near you" underscores the protective boundary God places around His people. The Hebrew concept here is one of divine safeguarding, where threats are kept at a distance. This promise of protection is a testament to God's sovereignty and His ability to shield His people from harm. In the broader biblical narrative, this reflects the ultimate victory of God over evil and the establishment of His eternal kingdom where His people dwell in safety.

(14) Thou shalt be far from oppression . . .--On the assumption of Isaiah's authorship the words stand out in contrast with his own experience of the "oppression" of Ahaz, of the "fear" and "terror" caused by Sargon and Sennacherib.

Verse 14. - 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 cf. "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.
