Albert Barnes Commentary
"They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." — Jeremiah 6:14 (ASV)
Healed - Rather, “tried to heal.”
Of the daughter - These words are omitted by a majority of manuscripts, but found in most of the versions.
Slightly - literally, “according to,” that is, as if it were, a “trifle: making nothing” of it. This cry of “peace” was doubtless based upon Josiah’s reforms.
