Because with lies you have made the heart of the just to mourn, whom I have not made sorrowful: and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his evil way, and live.
יַ֣עַן הַכְא֤וֹת לֵב־צַדִּיק֙ שֶׁ֔קֶר וַאֲנִ֖י לֹ֣א הִכְאַבְתִּ֑יו וּלְחַזֵּק֙ יְדֵ֣י רָשָׁ֔ע לְבִלְתִּי־שׁ֛וּב מִדַּרְכּ֥וֹ הָרָ֖ע לְהַחֲיֹתֽוֹ׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
You unjustly wound the heart of the righteous. Your predictions and sorceries strike at the heart of the simple, leading to suffering similar to that which Jeremiah endured when he was thrown into the pit (Jeremiah 38:6). Through your deception, you burden the hearts of the righteous, who are not caught in turmoil with Me. I allow hardships to befall those among My people who have sinned, but not upon those who mourn for the iniquities of My people.
As you have caused distress and upheaval to the righteous by predicting their trials while emboldening the wicked with promises of good, you have acted against my purpose. Therefore, I will bring you to complete ruin for your actions, I will terminate your deceitful enchantments, and I will rescue my people from the devastation you have planned. After proclaiming this, the Prophet shifts his focus to a different matter.
