This is what the Lord says about the prophets who mislead my people:

When they have something to eat, they say, “All is well!”
But they declare a holy war against those who don’t feed them.
That is why you will have nights without visions.
You will have darkness without revelations.
The sun will set on the prophets,
and the day will turn dark for them.
Seers [a] will be put to shame.
Those who practice witchcraft will be disgraced.
All of them will cover their faces, because God won’t answer them.

    and darkness, without divination.(C)
