But He will not hear them;
He will even hide His face from them at that time,
Because they have been evil in their deeds.
Who make my people stray;
Who chant1 “Peace”
While they bchew with their teeth,
But who prepare war against him
cWho puts nothing into their mouths:
And you shall have darkness without divination;
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
And the day shall be dark for bthem.
And the diviners abashed;
Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
aFor there is no answer from God.”
And of justice and might,
aTo declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.
You heads of the house of Jacob
And1 rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And pervert all equity,
bHer priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for1 money.
cYet they lean on the Lord, and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No harm can come upon us.”
Zion shall be aplowed like a field,
bJerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,
And cthe mountain of the temple
Like the bare hills of the forest.

night . . . dark—Calamities shall press on you so overwhelming as to compel you to cease pretending to divine (Zechariah 13:4). Darkness is often the image of calamity (Isaiah 8:22; Amos 5:18; Amos 8:9).
