Vers. 2. Peace shall come: they shall rest in their beds, every one that walketh before him.
Vers. 2. Peace shall come: they shall rest in their beds, euerie one that walketh before him.
1The Prophet here describes what the state of the faithful is after death. For the wicked who think there is no life after this, do judge that good men are perished, because they can apprehend nothing in death but ruin and perdition. Isaiah therefore saith; that such a peace shall come, as is more desirable then a thousand lives that are replenished with troubles. As if he compared the good to crazed soldiers, who are permitted quietly to take their ease.
