I was angry and struck him;
bI hid and was angry,
cAnd he went on1 backsliding in the way of his heart.
I will also lead him,
And restore comforts to him
And to bhis mourners.
Peace, peace bto him who is far off and to him who is near,”
Says the Lord,
“And I will heal him.”
When it cannot rest,
Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Says my God, “for the wicked.”

Isaiah 57:19
I create the fruit of the lips - "The sacrifice of praise," saith St. Paul, Hebrews 13:15, "is the fruit of the lips." God creates this fruit of the lips, by giving new subject and cause of thanksgiving by his mercies conferred on those among his people, who acknowledge and bewail their transgressions, and return to him. The great subject of thanksgiving is peace, reconciliation and pardon, offered to them that are nigh, and to them that are afar off, not only to the Jew, but also to the Gentile, as St. Paul more than once applies those terms, Ephesians 2:13, Ephesians 2:17. See also Acts 2:39.
Peace to him that is far off "That is, to the penitent; and to him that is near, i.e., the righteous." - Kimchi.
