Isaiah 57:19 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

I create the fruit of the lips, &c.— The meaning is, "that God would raise up at this time, by his grace, preachers of the pure and genuine Gospel;" who, after the example of the apostolic times, should powerfully preach that genuine and evangelical truth, which brings peace and tranquillity to troubled consciences, reconciliation of God with the believing sinner, through the blood of Jesus Christ; and is therefore emphatically called, the Gospel of peace. This preaching of theirs should extend far and wide, and should pertain to all people and nations without distinction; and by this means the church should be truly healed and restored. See Ephesians 2:17; Ephesians 6:15.
