Exegesis
The adversative ve-ein shalom {וְאֵין שָׁלוֹם | və-’ēn sha-lôm} ‘and there is no peace’ sharply contrasts the prophets’ claims with reality, setting up the prophetic formula neum Adonai YHWH {נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהֹוִֽה | ne-’um ’ă-dō-nāy Yə-hō-wāh}, ‘declares the Lord GOD.’ The cumulative participial and adversative structure heightens the indictment of false prophecy and underscores divine authority.
