以賽亞書 57:19 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 57:19

I create the fruit of the lips
Which is praise and thanksgiving, ( Hebrews 13:16 ) that is, give occasion of it, afford matter for it, by restoring comforts to the church and its mourners, as in the preceding verse; and by giving peace, as in all the following words. The Targum renders it,

``the speech of the lips in the mouth of all men;''

as if it respected that blessing of nature, speech, common to all mankind: whereas this is a blessing of grace, peculiar to some that share in the above blessings; and it may be restrained to Gospel ministers, the fruit of whose lips is the Gospel of peace; or the word preaching peace by Christ; the word of reconciliation committed to them; the subject of their ministry, as follows: peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the
Lord;
peace with God, made by Christ, is the fruit of Jehovah the Father's lips, who promised it in covenant, on condition of Christ's shedding his blood to make it; whence the covenant is called the covenant of peace; and spoke of it in prophecy, as what should be obtained by Christ the peacemaker; and peace of conscience flowing from it is the fruit of Christ's lips, who promised to give it to, and leave it with, his disciples; and that they should have it in him, when they had tribulation in the world; and who also by his apostles went and preached peace to them that were afar off, and to them that were nigh;
having first made it by the blood of his cross, ( Ephesians 2:17 ) in which place there seems a manifest reference to this passage, when the Gospel was preached to the Jews that were near; to them in Judea first, from whence it first came; and then to the Gentiles that were afar off, as well as the dispersed Jews in distant countries; and in the latter day, to which this prophecy refers, it will be preached far and near, even all the world over; when the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Gospel of peace, through the ministry of a set of men raised up by the Lord, created for that purpose, and eminently furnished for such service; the effect of which will be great spiritual peace in the hearts of God's people, and much concord, unity, and love among them, as well as there will be an abundance of external peace and prosperity; and when nations shall learn war no more. This Kimchi and Ben Melech take to be yet future, and what will be after the war of Gog and Magog: "and I will heal them"; of all their soul sicknesses and maladies; of all their divisions and declensions; of their carnality and earthly mindedness, before complained of; and even of all their sins and backslidings; and restore them to perfect health in their souls, and in their church state.

以賽亞書 57:19 In-Context

17 因 他 貪 婪 的 罪 孽 ， 我 就 發 怒 擊 打 他 ； 我 向 他 掩 面 發 怒 ， 他 卻 仍 然 隨 心 背 道 。

18 我 看 見 他 所 行 的 道 ， 也 要 醫 治 他 ； 又 要 引 導 他 ， 使 他 和 那 一 同 傷 心 的 人 再 得 安 慰 。

19 我 造 就 嘴 唇 的 果 子 ； 願 平 安 康 泰 歸 與 遠 處 的 人 ， 也 歸 與 近 處 的 人 ； 並 且 我 要 醫 治 他 。 這 是 耶 和 華 說 的 。

20 惟 獨 惡 人 ， 好 像 翻 騰 的 海 ， 不 得 平 靜 ； 其 中 的 水 常 湧 出 污 穢 和 淤 泥 來 。

21 我 的 　 神 說 ： 惡 人 必 不 得 平 安 ！
