I create, I will by my almighty power and in a wonderful manner produce, the fruit of the lips; Peace: either,
1. Praise or thanksgiving, which is called the fruit of our lips, Hosea 14:2 Hebrews 13:15, and peace: or rather,
2. That peace which is not wrought by men's hands, but only by God's lips or word; peace with God, and in a man's own conscience, which God hath promised to his people, and which he hath published and offered to all sorts of men by the preaching of the prophets, and especially of the apostles; as may be gathered both from the object of this peace in the following words, and by the exclusion of all wicked men from this peace, Isaiah 57:20 21. Peace: the doubling of the word signifies the certainty and abundance of this peace. To him that is far off, and to him that is near; to the Gentiles, who are far from God and from salvation, Acts 2:38,39 Eph 2:12, &c., as well as to the Jews, who are called a people near unto God, Psalms 148:14.
