Session 11 Micah 3:1-12
the charges against the false prophets.
5 This is what the LORD says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray,
who proclaim peace when they have food to sink their teeth into
but declare war against the one who puts nothing in their mouths.
6 Therefore, it will be night for you — without visions;
it will grow dark for you — without divination.
The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.
7 Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners disappointed.
They will all cover their mouths because there will be no answer from God.8 As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD,
with justice and courage, to proclaim to Jacob his rebellion
and to Israel his sin.
