‏ Isaiah 57:19

19. fruit of ... lips--that is, thanksgivings which flow from the lips. I make men to return thanks to Me (Ho 14:2; He 13:15).

Peace, peace--"perfect peace" (see Is 26:3, Margin; Joh 14:27). Primarily, the cessation of the troubles now afflicting the Jews, as formerly, under the Babylonian exile. More generally, the peace which the Gospel proclaims both to Israel "that is near," and to the Gentiles who are "far off" (Ac 2:39; Ep 2:17).
