Micah 3:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Therefore [a]night shall be unto you for a vision, and darkness shall be unto you for a divination, and the Sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 Then shall the Seers be ashamed, and the Soothsayers confounded: yea, they shall all cover [b]their lips, for they have none answer of God.
8 Yet notwithstanding I am full [c]of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of strength to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

- Micah 3:6 As you have loved to walk in darkness, and to prophesy lies, so God shall reward you with gross blindness and ignorance, so that when all others shall see the bright beams of God’s graces, ye shall as blind men grope as in the night.
- Micah 3:7 When God shall discover them to the world, they shall be afraid to speak: for all shall know that they were but false prophets, and did belie the word of God.
- Micah 3:8 The Prophet being assured of his vocation by the Spirit of God, setteth himself alone against all the wicked, showing how God both gave him gifts, ability and knowledge, to discern between good and evil, and also constancy to reprove the sins of the people, and not to flatter them.
