Micah 3:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who (A)lead my people astray;
When they have something to bite with their teeth,
They (B)call out, “Peace,”
But against him who puts nothing in their mouths,
They set themselves apart for war.
6 Therefore it will be (C)night for you—without vision,
And darkness for you—without divination.
The (D)sun will go down on the prophets,
And the day will grow black over them.
7 The seers will be (E)ashamed,
And the (F)diviners will be humiliated.
Indeed, they will all (G)cover their [a]mouths
Because there is (H)no answer from God.

Micah 3:5-7
New Living Translation
5 This is what the Lord says:
“You false prophets are leading my people astray!
You promise peace for those who give you food,
but you declare war on those who refuse to feed you.
6 Now the night will close around you,
cutting off all your visions.
Darkness will cover you,
putting an end to your predictions.
The sun will set for you prophets,
and your day will come to an end.
7 Then you seers will be put to shame,
and you fortune-tellers will be disgraced.
And you will cover your faces
because there is no answer from God.”

5 This is what the Lord says:
“As for the prophets
who lead my people astray,(A)
they proclaim ‘peace’(B)
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.(C)
The sun will set for the prophets,(D)
and the day will go dark for them.(E)
7 The seers will be ashamed(F)
and the diviners disgraced.(G)
They will all cover(H) their faces(I)
because there is no answer from God.(J)”
