Gill's Notes on the Bible
They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly,.... That is, the false prophets and lying priests, who pretended to be physicians, and to heal the sickly and distempered state of the people; and they did do it, in their way, but not thoroughly; they did not search the wound to the bottom; they drew a skin over it, and made a scar of it, and called it a cure; they made light of the hurt or wound; they healed it,
making nothing of it; or "despising it", as the Septuagint: or they healed it "with reproach", as the Vulgate Latin version; in such a manner, as that it was both a reproach to them, and to the people: or, as the Targum,
"they healed the breach of the congregation of my people with their lying words;''
which are as follow:
saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace; promising them all prosperity, plenty of good things, and a continuance in their own land; when in a short time there would be none of these things, but sudden destruction would come upon them; see 1 Thessalonians 5:3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
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,” i. e., as if it were, a “trifle: making nothing” of it. This cry of “peace” was doubtless based upon Josiah’s reforms.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 6:14. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly — Of the daughter is not in the text, and is here improperly added: it is, however, in some MSS.
Peace, peace — Ye shall have prosperity - when there was none, and when God had determined that there should be none. Here the prophets prophesied falsely; and the people continued in sin, being deceived by the priests and the prophets.
