Micah 3:5-7

New International Reader's Version

“The prophets are those
    who lead my people astray.
If my people feed them,
    the prophets promise them peace.
If my people do not feed them,
    the prophets prepare to go to war against them.
⁶ So night will come on the prophets.
    But they will not have any visions.
Darkness will cover them.
    But they will not be able
    to figure out what is going to happen.
The sun will set on the prophets.
    The day will become dark for them.
⁷ Those who see visions will be put to shame.
    Those who try to figure out what is going to happen
    will be dishonored.
All of them will cover their faces.
    I will not answer them.”
