The Exposure of Falsehood
Commentators agree this verse describes the public shaming of false prophets whose predictions fail to materialize. Scholars like Calvin and Gill clarify that the phrase 'no answer of God' doesn't mean God stops speaking to them, but that it becomes obvious to everyone that God never spoke through them in the first place. Their deception is utterly exposed.
