Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 14:13

"Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place." — Jeremiah 14:13 (ASV)

The false prophets in Jeremiah’s days were so numerous and influential as to counteract and almost nullify the influence of the true prophet. We find in Isaiah the first indications of the internal decay of the prophetic order; and Micah, his contemporary, denounces the false prophets in the strongest terms (Micah 3:5, Micah 3:11). For the secret of their power see (Jeremiah 5:31).
