Contextual Overview

17 Because of his iniquitous gain, was I wroth - and smote him Hiding myself that I might be wroth, - But he went on turning aside in the way of his own heart. 18 His ways, have I beheld, That I might heal him, - And guide him, And restore consolations to him and to his mourners: 19 Creating the fruit of the lips - Prosperity! Prosperity! For him that is far off and for him that is near saith Yahweh, So should I heal him. 20 But, the lawless, are like the sea when tossed, - For, rest, it cannot! But its waters toss out mire and dirt. 21 No well-being, saith my God, to the lawless!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. They have no share in the peace made by the blood of Christ; they have no true, solid, inward peace of conscience; nor will they have any part in the happiness and prosperity of the church and people of God in the latter day, which will but add to their uneasiness; and will have no lot and portion in the eternal peace which saints enjoy in the world to come; and of this there is the strongest assurance, since God, the covenant God of his people, has said it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

There is no peace - (see the note at Isaiah 48:22).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 57:21. There is no peace, saith my God — For אלהי Elohai, twenty-two MSS.

This verse has reference to the nineteenth. The perseveringly wicked and impenitent are excluded from all share in that peace above mentioned, that reconcilement and pardon which is promised to the penitent only. The forty-eighth chapter ends with the same declaration, to express the exclusion of the unbelievers and impenitent from the benefit of the foregoing promises. - L.
