The Danger of False Prophets
Commentators highlight that the primary danger was from false prophets who preached an easy, popular message. They promised "assured peace" and prosperity, directly contradicting Jeremiah's warnings of judgment. Scholars note these false teachers were numerous, influential, and so bold they even spoke in God's name to lend authority to their lies.
