Rashi, on Lam 2:14

“Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments.”

“false and senseless visions words that have no taste, and in Old French aflestrimant, insipidity, sickliness. and they have not exposed your iniquity to reprove you to your face about your way. to straighten out your backsliding Heb. לְהָשִּׁיב שְׁבוּתֵךְ, an expression of (Jer. 8:5) שּׁוֹבְבָה (ibid. 3:14) שּׁוֹבְבִים, backsliding; (Isa. 57:17): “and he went rebelliously (שּׁוֹבָב).” misleading oracles They misled you away from Me.”
