Did Judah and Jerusalem prosper under the influence of false prophets? Absolutely, for a time. But, because they trusted in idols, their deeds, and the things that their hands had made, rather than simply trusting in God's perfect will and timing, God was provoked to fury. The test is not in whether or not you prosper, for even satan rewards corruption. The test is can you obey God's instructions, with the apple tree in your midst. After all what kind of a test would it be if you weren't aware of, and even given proximity to the indwelling.
CAN YOU OBEY GOD'S INSTRUCTION
even if it means reward must wait?

Jeremiah 36:2 “Get a scroll, and write down all my messages against Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Begin with the first message back in the days of Josiah, and write down every message, right up to the present time. 3 Perhaps the people of Judah will repent when they hear again all the terrible things I have planned for them. Then I will be able to forgive their sins and wrongdoings.”
I was just thinking, Jeremiah, that weeping and sleeping prophet was imprisoned for about eleven years, I believe; what a "coincidence" that this so happens to be my eleventh year in this assignment.
Time is filled with swift transition.
