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

š-l-mshin–lamed–mem

peace, completeness

In contextEzekiel 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 .
