Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 6:14

_ _ hurt — the spiritual wound.

_ _ slightly — as if it were but a slight wound; or, in a slight manner, pronouncing all sound where there is no soundness.

_ _ saying — namely, the prophets and priests (Jeremiah 6:13). Whereas they ought to warn the people of impending judgments and the need of repentance, they say there is nothing to fear.

_ _ peace — including soundness. All is sound in the nation’s moral state, so all will be peace as to its political state (Jeremiah 4:10; Jeremiah 8:11; Jeremiah 14:13; Jeremiah 23:17; Ezekiel 13:5, Ezekiel 13:10; Ezekiel 22:28).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 6:9-17.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 6:14

They have healed also the hurt [of the daughter] of my people slightly, saying, (n) Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.

(n) When the people began to fear God's judgments, the false prophets comforted them by flatterings, showing that God would send peace and not war.
