Exegesis
The infinitive construct le-mor {לֵאמֹ֥ר | lē-ʾmôr} ‘to say’ introduces the false assurance shalom {שָׁל֖וֹם | šālôm} ‘peace’, immediately negated by the existential negator wə-’ein {וְאֵ֣ן | wə-ʾên} + shalom {שָׁל֑וֹם | šālôm}.
Root and etymology
ʾ-m-raleph–mem–resh
“to say, declare”
In context — Ezekiel 13:10
Because, and also because they have led my people astray , saying “Peace,” and there is no peace; and when he builds a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash .
