Micah 3:5-7
GOD’S WORD Translation
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.

Micah 3:5-7
New International Version
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)”
