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
fruit of . . . lips—that is, thanksgivings which flow from the lips. I make men to return thanks to Me (Hosea 14:2; Hebrews 13:15).
Peace, peace—"perfect peace" (see Isaiah 26:3, Margin; John 14:27). Primarily, the cessation of the trouble s now afflicting the Jews, as formerly, under the Babylonian exile. More generally, the peace which the Gospel proclaims both to Israel "that is near," and to the Gentiles who are "far off" (Acts 2:39; Ephesians 2:17).
