Micah 3:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ The time will come when Israel
    will cry out to the Lord.
    But he won’t answer them.
In fact, he’ll turn his face away from them.
    They have done what is evil.

“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.
