Micah 3:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 Then they will (A)cry out to the Lord,
But He will not answer them.
Instead, He will (B)hide His face from them at that time
Because they have (C)practiced evil deeds.
5 This is what the Lord says concerning the prophets who (D)lead my people astray:
When they have something to bite with their teeth,
They (E)cry out, “Peace!”
But against him who puts nothing in their mouths
They declare holy war.
6 Therefore it will be (F)night for you—without vision,
And darkness for you—without divination.
The (G)sun will go down on the prophets,
And the day will become dark over them.
7 The seers will be (H)put to shame,
And the (I)diviners will be ashamed.
Indeed, they will all (J)cover their [a]lips
Because there is (K)no answer from God.
8 On the other hand, (L)I am filled with power—
With the Spirit of the Lord—
And with justice and courage
To (M)make known to Jacob his rebellious act,
And to Israel his sin.

4 Then they will cry out to the Lord,
but he will not answer them.(A)
At that time he will hide his face(B) from them
because of the evil they have done.(C)
5 This is what the Lord says:
“As for the prophets
who lead my people astray,(D)
they proclaim ‘peace’(E)
if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
who refuses to feed them.
6 Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
and darkness, without divination.(F)
The sun will set for the prophets,(G)
and the day will go dark for them.(H)
7 The seers will be ashamed(I)
and the diviners disgraced.(J)
They will all cover(K) their faces(L)
because there is no answer from God.(M)”
8 But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
to Israel his sin.(N)
