Therefore it shall be night to you, that you shall have no vision; and it shall be dark to you, that you shall not divine; and the sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.

Judgment Silences Deceivers

Commentators agree that the "night" and "darkness" in this verse represent a divine judgment of overwhelming calamity. This disaster will be so complete that it will silence the false prophets who had promised peace and prosperity. Their source of false confidence—the temporary well-being of the nation—will be removed, and they will no longer dare to claim they have a vision from God.
