20Go out from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare with the sound of joyful shouting, proclaim this, Send it out to the end of the earth; Say, “The Lord has redeemed His servant Jacob.” 21They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts. He made the water flow out of the rock for them; He split the rock and the water gushed out. “There is no peace for the wicked,” says the Lord.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 22There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked - This verse contains a sentiment whose truth no one can doubt.

There may be the appearance of joy, and there may be temporary prosperity. But there is no abiding, substantial, permanent happiness, such as is enjoyed…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 16-22Verses 16-22 The Holy Spirit qualifies for service; and those may speak boldly, whom God and his Spirit send. This is to be applied to Christ.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 22This phrase, There is not peace … for the wicked (also Isaiah 57:21), highlights the clear difference between the godly and the wicked (see 66:24). Peace represents God's kingdom, which does not include the wicked.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2222. Repeated (Is 57:21). All the blessings just mentioned (Is 48:21) belong only to the godly, not to the wicked. Israel shall first cast away its wicked unbelief before it shall inherit national prosperity (Zec 12:10-14; 13:1, 9; 14:3, 14, 20, 21). The sentiment holds good also as to all wicked men (Job 15:20-25, 31-34).Read the comment
