J. N. Darby Translation

Prophesyv ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to thesew, the ignominy will not depart.

JND Translation Notes

Lit. "Drop," in this and ver. 11, as Amos 7.16.

i.e. If the true prophets do not prophesy to the unjust rich men (see vers. 1,2). others translate "They shall not prophesy of such."

W. Kelly Translation

Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
