Isaiah 48:22 [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
Ver. 22. There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.] Babylon's best days are past: therefore go ye forth of her. Isa 48:20 The wicked of what nation soever that hearken not to God's commandments, as Isa 48:18 well they may have a truce, but no true peace certainly. That which they have is pax infida, pax incerta a (as that of the Romans with the Samnites), a peace no peace; and how can it be better so long as their wickednesses and witchcrafts are so many? 2Ki 9:22 Tranquillitas illa tempestas erit; as after a south wind arose Euroclydon, Act 27:13-14 so, after a false peace, storm and tempest everlasting: this shall be the portion of their cup Psa 11:6 See Isaiah 57:20,21 .
