"21 And they athirsted not; he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the brock for them; he clave the rock also and the waters gushed out.
22 And notwithstanding he hath done all this, and greater also, there is no apeace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked."
Isaiah is recounting some of the events of the house of Israel during their sojourn of 40 years in the wilderness. It seems that Nephi really takes this story to heart. Isaiah says that as the house of Israel traveled in the wilderness, they did not thirst. They had water provided miraculously for them. Moses took his staff and struck it against rocks and waters came forth. He did this on occasion (see Exodus 17:6 and Numbers 20:11).
The last verse states that even though the Lord did this, and even greater things for them, they were still wicked and did not receive the peace of God with them. The reference to the word peace in this scripture refers the reader, studier, researcher to Romans 3:17, which says,
"17 And the way of apeace have they not known:"
Let us remember what Heavenly Father does for us everyday and what Jesus Christ did for us two thousand years ago so that we can know the peace of God.
