Micah 3:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,
who cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat
but declare war against those
who put nothing into their mouths.(A)
6 Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision,
and darkness to you, without revelation.
The sun shall go down upon the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them;(B)
7 the seers shall be disgraced
and the diviners put to shame;
they shall all cover their lips,
for there is no answer from God.(C)
Micah 3:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
False Prophets Judged
5 This is what the Lord says
concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,(A)
who proclaim(B) peace
when they have food to sink their teeth into
but declare war against the one
who puts nothing in their mouths.
6 Therefore, it will be night(C) for you—
without visions;
it will grow dark for you—
without divination.(D)
The sun will set(E) on these prophets,
and the daylight will turn black over them.
7 Then the seers will be ashamed(F)
and the diviners disappointed.(G)
They will all cover their mouths[a](H)
because there will be no answer from God.(I)
