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
Revised Standard Version
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 him
who puts nothing into their mouths.
6 Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision,
and darkness to you, without divination.
The sun shall go down upon the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them;
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.
