This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_48:22 [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
Ver. 22. There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.] Babylon’s best days are past: therefore go ye forth of her. {Isa_48:20} The wicked of what nation soever that hearken not to God’s commandments, {as Isa_48:18} well they may have a truce, but no true peace certainly. That which they have is pax infida, pax incerta {a} (as that of the Romans with the Samnites), a peace no peace; and how can it be better so long as their wickednesses and witchcrafts are so many? {2Ki_9:22} Tranquillitas illa tempestas erit; as after a south wind arose Euroclydon, {Act_27:13-14} so, after a false peace, storm and tempest everlasting: this shall be the portion of their cup {Psa_11:6} See Isa_57:20-21.
