Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 57:19

19 I create the fruit of the lips; peace , peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near , saith the LORD, and I will heal him.

I will by my Almighty Power, and in a wonderful manner produce.

Either 1. Praise or Thanksgiving, which is called the fruit of our lips, Hos. 14. 2. Heb. 13. 15. and Peace: Or rather 2. That Peace which is not wrought by Mens hands, but only by Gods Lips or Word, Peace with God, and in a mans 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, v. 20, 21.

The doubling of the word signifies the certainty and abundance of this Peace.

To the Gentiles who are far from God, and from Salvation, Act. 2. 38, 39. Eph. 2. 12, &c. as well as to the Jews, who are called a people near unto God, Psal. 148. 14.
