Micah 3:6

*Prophets have dreams. The dreams often come at night. God speaks to *prophets in this way. It is God’s gift to them. But God now takes away that gift from these *prophets. So they do not receive money for it any longer. It is like Samson earlier. He tried to free himself from his enemies, who were called the Philistines. But he could not do it. Samson had lost the strength that God had given to him before. But he did not know that the *LORD had left him (Judges 16:20).

Darkness can mean that people lose knowledge (Psalms 82:5). The *prophets are receiving messages. But the messages do not come from God. God does not allow those messages. It is as if the sun has set on the false *prophets. Their days will be like night.

v7 The *prophets will be ashamed. The experts will be confused. They will all cover their faces. They will get no message from God. He will not answer them.
