Micah 3:6

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

Allen and Johnson thought they found here an admission on the part of Micah of some kind of prophetic gift within the false prophets. "Micah apparently does not deny that his opponents are endowed with God-given talents."[10] We do not think there is any such admission here. When Jesus asked the Pharisees, "By whom then do your sons cast them (demons) out?" (Matthew 12:27), there was certainly not any admission on Jesus' part that the Pharisees actually did any such thing. Similarly, here, Micah was not affirming anything with reference to prophecies of the false prophets except the night of total oblivion that was to fall upon them. The sun will go down upon their prosperity; the night shall fall upon their day of glory. Deane pointed out that the imagery here suggests that of Amos 8:9,[11] where it was prophesied that the "sun would be darkened in a clear day" for the whole nation. The fate here predicted to fall upon the false prophets would likewise extend to the whole people.
