In this chapter, the false prophets prophesying peace for Judah are condemned by God.
There actually is quite a lot of detail about what the false prophets are doing. They are prophesying that Judah will encounter peace, not war. These prophesies are coming from their own imaginations. Nevertheless, these prophecies would land on fertile ground because God had saved Jerusalem so many times before. Likewise, in times before,prophets of God said that they would be saved when it seemed like hope was lost.
Not so this time. Rather, the chapter states that the record of these prophets would not be saved in the records of Israel. Sure enough, whatever they said did not make it into the Old Testament canon.
