John Trapp on Isaiah 48:22

Ver. 22. There is no peace, ſaith the Lord, unto the wicked] Babylons beſt dayes are paſt: therefore go ye forth of her, ver. 20. The wicked of what Nation ſoever that hearken not to Gods Commandements (as ver. 18.) well they may have a truce,Liv. Hiſt. lib. 9. but no true peace certainly. That which they have is pax infida, pax incertae (as that of the Romanes with the Samnites) a peace no peace: and how can it be better, ſo long as their wickedneſſes and witchcrafts are ſo many? 2 King. 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, Pſal. 11.6. See chap. 57.20, 21.
