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.

  1. Micah 3:7 Lit mustache

This is what the Lord says:

“As for the prophets
    who lead my people astray,(A)
they proclaim ‘peace’(B)
    if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
    who refuses to feed them.
Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
    and darkness, without divination.(C)
The sun will set for the prophets,(D)
    and the day will go dark for them.(E)
The seers will be ashamed(F)
    and the diviners disgraced.(G)
They will all cover(H) their faces(I)
    because there is no answer from God.(J)
