“For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.”
The false comfort: 'They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace.' This verse (identical to 6:14) repeats the critique of false prophets and priests who minimize the people's spiritual and social condition, proclaiming 'Peace, peace' when judgment approaches. Theologically, the repetition emphasizes how pervasive this false comfort is.
