3:6Therefore night will fall, and you will receive no visions;15

it will grow dark, and you will no longer be able to read the omens.16

The sun will set on these prophets,

and the daylight will turn to darkness over their heads.17

Footnotes

  1. 15 Heb “it will be night for you without a vision.” The coming of night (and darkness in the following line) symbolizes the cessation of revelation.
  2. 16 Heb “it will be dark for you without divination.” The reading of omens (Heb “divination”) was forbidden in the law (Deut 18:10), so this probably reflects the prophets’ view of how they received divine revelation.
  3. 17 Heb “and the day will be dark over them.”
