The false prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace will themselves face judgment and will know that the Lord has spoken. This verse specifically identifies those prophets who focused their deceptions on Jerusalem, the spiritual heart of Israel, making their false prophecies of peace especially grievous. The judgment upon these prophets serves a dual purpose: punishing their deception and forcing them to acknowledge the true prophet and the true God. The eschatological recognition of God's word through judgment echoes throughout Ezekiel as a key theological theme.
