כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה עַל־הַנְּבִיאִים הַמַּתְעִים אֶת־עַמִּי הַנֹּשְׁכִים בְּשִׁנֵּיהֶם וְקָרְאוּ שָׁלוֹם וַֽאֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִתֵּן עַל־פִּיהֶם וְקִדְּשׁוּ עָלָיו מִלְחָמָֽה׃
Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoever puts nothing into their mouths, they prepare war against him.

Rashi
וְקָרְאוּ שָׁלוֹם. וְכַאֲשֶׁר יַאֲכִילוּ יִקְרְאוּ וְיִתְנַבְּאוּ לָהֶם שָׁלוֹם:
and herald peace—And, when they feed them, they herald and prophesy peace for them.
וְקִדְּשׁוּ עָלָיו מִלְחָמָה. וְהִזְמִינוּ עָלָיו לְמִלְחָמָה:
they prepare war Heb. וְקִדְּשׁוּ.
לָכֵן לַיְלָה לָכֶם מֵֽחָזוֹן וְחָשְׁכָה לָכֶם מִקְּסֹם וּבָאָה הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ עַל־הַנְּבִיאִים וְקָדַר עֲלֵיהֶם הַיּֽוֹם׃
Therefore it shall be night for you, that you shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark for you, that you shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
Therefore it shall be night for you, that you shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark for you, that you shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
וּבֹשׁוּ הַחֹזִים וְחָֽפְרוּ הַקֹּסְמִים וְעָטוּ עַל־שָׂפָם כֻּלָּם כִּי אֵין מַעֲנֵה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
Then shall the seers be put to shame, and the magicians confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer from God.
Then shall the seers be put to shame, and the magicians confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer from God.
Rashi
מַעֲנֵה אֱלֹהִים. מַעֲנֵה נָקוּד קָמַץ (רוֹצֶה לוֹמַר צֵירֵי), לְפִי שֶׁהוּא דָבוּק אֶל הַשֵּׁם:
statement of God Heb. מַעֲנֵה is vowelized with a kamatz [meaning a zeirah] since it is attached to God’s Name.
וְאוּלָם אָנֹכִי מָלֵאתִי כֹחַ אֶת־רוּחַ יְהֹוָה וּמִשְׁפָּט וּגְבוּרָה לְהַגִּיד לְיַֽעֲקֹב פִּשְׁעוֹ וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל חַטָּאתֽוֹ׃ {פ}
But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Ya῾aqov his transgression, and to Yisra᾽el his sin.

הַנֹּשְׁכִים בְּשִׁנֵּיהֶם. וְאוֹכְלִים בְּשַׂר בְּהֵמוֹת פְּטוּמוֹת הַמַּאֲכִילִים אוֹתָם עַמִּי הַטּוֹעִים אַחֲרֵיהֶם:
who bite with their teeth—and eat the flesh of fattened animals, which my people who stray after them feed them.
