The false assurance of false prophets: 'They have lied about the LORD; they said, "He will do nothing! No harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine."' This verse attributes the people's false confidence to the false prophets: they have spread the lie that God 'will do nothing,' that 'no harm will come.' The promise that 'we will never see sword or famine' represents the false prophets' message of peace and security. Theologically, this verse establishes that false prophecy is not merely misguided but is a form of lies about God's character and intentions, lulling the people into a false security that prevents genuine repentance.
