# General Information:

The words "they," "their" and "them" in these verses refer to the people of Judah.

# Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues giving Jeremiah his message to the people of Judah.

# They have healed the brokenness of my people lightly

Possible meanings are 1) the brokenness represents the problems the people have as a result of their sin. Alternate translation: "They act as though my people's problems are not serious" or 2) the brokenness represents the people's sin. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 6:14](../06/14.md). Alternate translation: "They act as though my people's sins are not serious" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# the brokenness of my people

"the places where my people were broken" or "my people, who were broken,"

# lightly

Here "lightly" represents treating the wounds as if they were not serious, as if it were easy to heal them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# "Peace, Peace," when there is no peace

"'All is well, All is well,' but it is not well"
