Micah 3:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 This is what the Lord says concerning the prophets who (A)lead my people astray:
When they have something to bite with their teeth,
They (B)cry out, “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)put to shame,
And the (F)diviners will be ashamed.
Indeed, they will all (G)cover their [a]lips
Because there is (H)no answer from God.

Micah 3:5-7
Common English Bible
5 The Lord proclaims concerning the prophets,
those who lead my people astray,
those who chew with their teeth
and then proclaim “Peace!”
but stir up war against the one who puts nothing in their mouths:
6 Therefore, it will become night for you,
without vision, only darkness
without divination!
The sun will set on the prophets;
the day will be dark upon them.
7 Those seeing visions will be ashamed,
and the diviners disgraced;
they will all cover their upper lips,[a]
for there will be no answer from God.
