Micah 3:8

"The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.”"

Key Reflection

In Micah 3:8, the prophet declares that even the trusted seers and diviners will be disappointed and confounded because they cannot provide true guidance or insight. Their attempts to communicate with God will fail, as no genuine answers from God are forthcoming, highlighting the corruption among those who claim divine knowledge.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And truly I -(Literally, contrariwise I,) that is, whereas they shall be void and no word in them, “I am full of (or filled with) power by the Spirit of the Lord and of judgment and might.” The false prophets, walked after their own spirit,Ezekiel 13:3. Their only power or influence was from without, from favoring circumstances, from adapting themselves to the great or to the people, going along with the tide, and impelling persons whither they wished to go. The power of the true prophet was inherent, and that by gift of “the Spirit of the Lord”.
