In these verses, Yahweh speaks of the false security that the prophets have given to the people by speaking of peace as if the prophets had built a poorly-constructed wall and covered it over with white paint in order to make it look good.

(Some words not found in UHB: because and,in/on/at/with,because misled DOM people_of,my to=say peace and,there_is_no peace and=he building flimsy_wall and,look,they plaster DOM=him/it whitewash )
Here “a wall” stands for peace and security that the false prophets told the people that Yahweh was promising to give them.
(Occurrence 0) whitewash
(Some words not found in UHB: because and,in/on/at/with,because misled DOM people_of,my to=say peace and,there_is_no peace and=he building flimsy_wall and,look,they plaster DOM=him/it whitewash )
The word “whitewash” refers to a white liquid mixture or paint used to cover up impurities and make surfaces white.
13:10-16 The people’s “righteousness” was a flimsy wall in danger of collapse. Rather than doing the hard work of constructing their wall properly by calling the people to repentance, the false prophets were content to give it a coat of whitewash by telling the people that peace would come to Jerusalem. This external touch-up made the wall appear more solid than it was. Its true weakness would be exposed by a heavy rainstorm. Water would flow into the unsealed cracks, wash away the mortar, and allow the stones to fall away. In this case, the storm would be the great flood of God’s anger, which would destroy the people’s pretense to righteousness and the false prophets who had encouraged it. Meanwhile, they would have no peace.
