⇔ and forges a weapon fit for its task;

⇔ to wreak havoc.

WEB  ⇔ “Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame,
⇔ and forges a weapon for his work;
⇔ and I have created the destroyer to destroy.

MSG ^(11-17)“Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied:
  I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise,
Lay your foundations with sapphires,
  construct your towers with rubies,
Your gates with jewels,
  and all your walls with precious stones.
All your children will have God for their teacher—
  what a mentor for your children!
You’ll be built solid, grounded in righteousness,
  far from any trouble—nothing to fear!
  far from terror—it won’t even come close!
If anyone attacks you,
  don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them,
And if any should attack,
  nothing will come of it.
I create the blacksmith
  who fires up his forge
  and makes a weapon designed to kill.
I also create the destroyer—
  but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged.
Any accuser who takes you to court
  will be dismissed as a liar.
This is what God’s servants can expect.
  I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.”
God’s Decree.

Blowing on a fire of coals,
And bringing out an instrument for his work,
And I have created a destroyer to destroy.

T4T  ⇔ Think about this:
⇔ ◄Blacksmiths/Men who make things from metal► fan the coals to make a very hot flame
⇔ in order to produce weapons that can be used in battles,
 ⇔ but I am the one who has produced blacksmiths!
 ⇔ And I am also the one who created people who destroy other people and cities.
