Micah 3:5-8 - False Prophets Judged

5 Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who lead my people astray;
When they have something to bite with their teeth,
They cry, “Peace,”
But against him who puts nothing in their mouths
They declare holy war.
6 Therefore it will be night for you—without vision,
And darkness for you—without divination.
The sun will go down on the prophets,
And the day will become dark over them.
7 The seers will be ashamed
And the diviners will be embarrassed.
Indeed, they will all cover their mouths
Because there is no answer from God.

8 On the other hand I am filled with power—
With the Spirit of the Lord
And with justice and courage
To make known to Jacob his rebellious act,
Even to Israel his sin.
