The time is coming when you will cry out to the Lord, but he will not answer you. He will not listen to your prayers, for you have done evil.

My people are deceived by prophets who promise peace to those who pay them, but threaten war for those who don't. To these prophets the Lord says, “Prophets, your day is almost over; the sun is going down on you. Because you mislead my people, you will have no more prophetic visions, and you will not be able to predict anything.”

Then they will cry out to the Lord,
    but he will not answer them.(A)
At that time he will hide his face(B) from them

This is what the Lord says:

“As for the prophets
    who lead my people astray,(D)
they proclaim ‘peace’(E)
    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.(F)
The sun will set for the prophets,(G)
    and the day will go dark for them.(H)
