Also it will come about in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a hairy robe in order to deceive;I have to admit, I'm a bit unclear on this passage. I can't tell if it's saying true prophets will be ashamed of their prophecies, or if false prophets will be ashamed of their lies. If it's the latter, than this is a very good thing, for they recognize their wrongdoing.
However, if it's the former, then this is a very bad thing. The people God has entrusted with His message aren't telling it to the people who need to hear it more than anything. I believe that elsewhere in the Bible, it says those who have news and do not speak it are under a special level of curse.
