Micah 3:5-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who (A)lead my people astray;
When they have something to bite with their teeth,
They (B)cry, “Peace,”
But against him who puts nothing in their mouths
They declare holy 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 become dark over them.
7 The seers will be (E)ashamed
And the (F)diviners will be embarrassed.
Indeed, they will all (G)cover their [a]mouths
Because there is (H)no answer from God.
8 On the other hand (I)I am filled with power—
With the Spirit of the Lord—
And with justice and courage
To (J)make known to Jacob his rebellious act,
Even to Israel his sin.
