Isaiah 57:21 [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Ver. 21. There is no peace.] A truce there may be for a time, and a seeming peace; but it is pax infida, pax incerta, a peace, no peace. The sea may seem sometimes still, but it is never so; no more are the wicked. And this is twice here affirmed for more assurance; like as he had twice said, "I will heal them"; Isa 57:18-19 and as he had promised peace, peace to the mourners (ib.), who, having soaked themselves in godly sorrow, are washed from their wickedness by the blood of Jesus Christ; and being justified by faith, have peace with God. This is a peerless pearl, which no cock on the dunghill ever knew the worth of.
