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.
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.
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.

God’s Judgment against False Prophets

“This is what the Lord says about the prophets
    who are causing my people to go astray,
who are calling out ‘Peace’ when they’re being fed,[a]
    but who declare war against those who won’t feed them:[b]
‘You will have nights without visions,
    and darkness without prophecy.
The sun will set on the prophets,
    and the day will darken for them.
Those who see visions will be put to shame,
    and the diviners will be disgraced—every one of them—
they will cover their faces,[c]
    because there will be no answer from God.’”
