Micah 3:7

Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for [there is] no answer of God.

Then shall the seers {H2374} be ashamed {H954}, and the diviners {H7080} confounded {H2659}: yea, they shall all cover {H5844} their lips {H8222}; for there is no answer {H4617} of God {H430}.

The seers will be put to shame, the diviners will be disgraced. They will have to cover their mouths, because there will be no answer from God.

Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.”

And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
