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.”
