They have not uncovered your iniquity

Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captives. but have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions. Lamentations 2:14

This tells us that false prophets do not uncover hidden sins or lead people to true repentance – they never lead people out of the captivity of their sin, but offer them blessings, prosperity and riches.

And a true man of God, but one who has compromised, knows he will be a hypocrite if he preaches repentance from sin, so he doesn’t.
