LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have done all our works in us.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 26:12 Go To Isaiah 26
Cassiodorus Senator
AD 585
“All have fallen.” Anyone who refuses to seek out a strong foundation necessarily falls. “Together they became useless,” namely, with regard to the work for which they were created. “There is none who does good.” There was no one who would do good, because the Jews broke the commandments and the Gentiles spurned the law of nature. When anyone from either party did good, therefore, he knew that he was indebted to grace, not to nature, as the prophet said in reference to the Lord: “in the presence of whom no one is innocent.” Isaiah also says in his canticle: “O Lord our God, you will give us peace, for you have accomplished all of our works in us.”
