Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not something into their mouth, they prepare war against him.

Therefore night shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to you instead of divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be darkened over them.

Then they will cry out to the Lord,
    but he will not answer them.(A)

“As for the prophets
    who lead my people astray,(D)
they proclaim ‘peace’(E)
    if they have something to eat,

    and darkness, without divination.(F)
The sun will set for the prophets,(G)
    and the day will go dark for them.(H)
