“They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.”
The description of false prophets telling those who despise God's word that they will have peace represents the false comfort that leads to spiritual destruction. The promise that nothing bad will happen despite apostasy contradicts Jeremiah's message of judgment. The false peace offering creates false security that prevents repentance. The verse shows how false prophecy serves the interests of those who reject God's word.
