Bible References

The prophets

“As the thief is shamed when he is discovered,
So the house of Israel is shamed;
They, their kings, their princes
And their priests and their prophets,

Therefore it will be night for you—without vision,
And darkness for you—without divination.
The sun will go down on the prophets,
And the day will become dark over them.

Wear

They answered him, “He was a hairy man with a leather girdle bound about his loins.” And he said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”

at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go and loosen the sackcloth from your hips and take your shoes off your feet.” And he did so, going naked and barefoot.

Now John himself had

a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ palaces!

John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.

And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

General references

For there will no longer be any

false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

“I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
And you will have fortune-tellers no more.

They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
