What Does This Mean?
This verse talks about people who don't want to hear the truth from the prophets and seers. They tell them not to speak the truth and instead to say nice things that are not true. The key message is about avoiding the truth and preferring lies.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a friend who always tells you the truth, even if it's not nice. Now, some people don't like that. They want their friend to say only nice things, even if those things aren't true. It's like asking for a lollipop when you know you shouldn't have one.
Historical Background

Living It Out Today
In today's world, this verse can apply to situations where someone prefers to hear what they want to hear rather than the truth. For example, a person might avoid doctors who tell them they need to change their lifestyle for better health and instead seek out those who say they are fine as they are.
