I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

The verse 19 is found in chapter 57 of Isaiah. The chapter denounces idolatry and corrupt religious practices in Israel, but also promises comfort to the humble and contrite. God dwells with the brokenhearted, so divine transcendence does not imply distance from human suffering. The absence of peace for the wicked closes the section by reminding us that restoration does not eliminate moral responsibility.

creando el fruto de los labios. Paz, paz al que está lejos y al que está cerca —dice Jehová—, y lo sanaré».
Je mettrai la louange sur les lèvres. Paix, paix à celui qui est loin et à celui qui est près! dit l'Eternel. Je les guérirai.
Io creo ciò ch’è proferito con le labbra; pace, pace al lontano, ed al vincino, dice il Signore; ed io lo guarirò.
Eu crio os frutos dos lábios: paz, paz, para o que está longe; e para o que está perto, diz o SENHOR, e eu o sararei.
我要醫治他, 他要結出嘴唇的果實。 平安,平安,歸給遠處和近處的人! 這是耶和華說的。」
