📚 Historical Context
Jeremiah was prophesying during the final years before Jerusalem's destruction by Babylon (around 605-586 BC). The people were rejecting God's warnings through false prophets who promised peace instead of acknowledging coming judgment. This verse comes in a section where God is denouncing these false prophets and declaring that his promised judgment cannot be avoided.
