And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be confounded, every one by his own vision, when he shall prophesy, neither shall they be clad with a garment of sackcloth, to deceive:

Haydock's commentary
Vision. They shall have no appearance of truth.
Sackcloth. Hebrew, "hairy skin;" adereth. Such were used by kings, Jonas iii. 6. The people shall not be deceived by such appearances, so that these garments will not be used. The Jews have always been ready to receive impostors, Matthew vii. 15. Yet they shall not be so frequent, or dangerous. The prophets used coarse hairy garments, 4 Kings i. 8.
