Micah 3:5-7

5Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who 1lead my people astray; When they have something to bite with their teeth, They 2cry, “Peace,” But against him who puts nothing in their mouths They declare holy war.6Therefore it will be 3night for you--without vision, And darkness for you--without divination. The 4sun will go down on the prophets, And the day will become dark over them.7The seers will be 5ashamed And the 6diviners will be embarrassed. Indeed, they will all 7cover their 8mouths Because there is 9no answer from God.
