Then shall they cry unto Hashem, but He will not hear them; He will even hide His face from them at that time, because of the evil way they behaved themselves in their doings.

Thus saith Hashem concerning the nevi’im that make Ami err, leading them astray, the nevi’im that bite with their teeth, and preach, Shalom! And whoever putteth nothing into their mouths, v’kiddeshu milchamah (they sanctify war) against him.

Therefore lailah shall be unto you, because of the chazon; and choshech shall come upon you because of the soothsaying, the divination; and the shemesh shall go down over the nevi’im, and hayom shall be dark over them.

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
    because of the evil they have done.(C)

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)
