no vision, or no prophecy. In the N.T. prophecy is by the preaching of God's Word.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

w/o the knowledge of the Word of God, the people will perish.
