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 Lord says,

“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.
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.

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)
