Micah 3:5-7
Christian Standard Bible
False Prophets Judged
5 This is what the Lord says
concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,(A)
who proclaim(B) peace
when they have food to sink their teeth into
but declare war against the one
who puts nothing in their mouths.
6 Therefore, it will be night(C) for you—
without visions;
it will grow dark for you—
without divination.(D)
The sun will set(E) on these prophets,
and the daylight will turn black over them.
7 Then the seers will be ashamed(F)
and the diviners disappointed.(G)
They will all cover their mouths[a](H)
because there will be no answer from God.(I)

Micah 3:5-7
International Standard Version
God’s Judgment against False Prophets
5 “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]
6 ‘You will have nights without visions,
and darkness without prophecy.
The sun will set on the prophets,
and the day will darken for them.
7 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.’”
