Micah continues to speak judgment against false prophets.
it will be night for you…the day will be dark on them
Yahweh is saying in 3:6 these false prophets will no longer receive God's message to the people of Israel. Prophets sometimes got messages from God through visions, or dreams at night. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
The seers will be put to shame, and the diviners will be confused
AT: "I will cause the seers to be ashamed, and I will confuse the diviners" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
All of them will cover their lips
AT: "They shall no longer speak" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
for there is no answer from me
This means God will be silent as part of their punishment.
