Isaiah 57:18-19
seen <07200> [have.]
heal <07495> [will heal.]
them <05148> [will lead.]
but <07999> [restore.]
mourn <057> [to his.]
gives <01254> [I create.]
"The sacrifice of praise," says St. Paul, "is the fruit of the lips." God creates this fruit of the lips, by giving new subject and cause of thanksgiving by His mercies conferred on His people. The great subject of thanksgiving is peace, reconciliation and pardon offered to them that are nigh, and to them that are afar off; not only to the Jew, but also to the Gentile.
celebrate <05108> [the fruit.]
prosperity <07965> [Peace.]
