14:13
Jeremiah was not the only prophet around, though one of the few genuine prophets. These other prophets told the people what they wanted to hear. They told them that they would not suffer, but instead they would receive lasting peace in the Jerusalem. Such comforting words! But such false and worthless words. Things are no different today, nor have they ever been much different. There will always be teachers and prophets who will tell the people what they want to hear, rather than what God is actually saying.
14:14
God replies to Jeremiah quite directly, there is no beating about the bush that they might be “mistaken” or not quite right, or had a different perspective!. God declares that these prophets were prophesying lies in God’s name. They were not sent by God, were not appointed by Him and had never heard a word from God in their life! Instead they spoke out of the delusions of their own minds, as fo many today.
