The Lord says this about the prophets who ·teach his people the wrong way of living [mislead/lead astray my people]:

“If these prophets are given food to eat,
    they shout, ‘Peace!’
But if someone doesn’t ·give them what they ask for [L place food in their mouths],
    they ·call for a holy war [declare war] against that person.
So it will become like night for them, without visions [C revelation from God will cease].
    It will become dark for them, without ·any way to tell the future [divination].
The sun is about to set for the prophets;
    their day will become dark.
The seers [C another name for prophets] will be ashamed;
    the ·people who see the future [diviners] will be ·embarrassed [disgraced; humiliated].
Yes, all of them will cover their ·mouths [or lips; or faces],
    because there will be no answer from God.”
