Micah 3:6
New English Translation
Micah 3:6
New English Translation
6 Therefore night will fall, and you will receive no visions;[a]
it will grow dark, and you will no longer be able to read the omens.[b]
The sun will set on these prophets,
and the daylight will turn to darkness over their heads.[c]
Footnotes
- Micah 3:6 tn Heb “it will be night for you without a vision.”sn The coming of night (and darkness in the following line) symbolizes the cessation of revelation.
- Micah 3:6 tn Heb “it will be dark for you without divination.”sn The reading of omens (Heb “divination”) was forbidden in the law (Deut 18:10), so this probably reflects the prophets’ view of how they received divine revelation.
- Micah 3:6 tn Heb “and the day will be dark over them.”
