Commentary

fruit of . . . lips--that is, thanksgivings which flow from the lips. I make men to return thanks to Me (Hos 14:2; Heb 13:15). Peace, peace--"perfect peace" (see Isa 26:3, Margin; Joh 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" (Act 2:39; Eph 2:17).
