Exegesis
The compound divine title Adonai YHWH {אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה | ʾă-dō-nāy yə-hō-wāh} is invoked falsely, which is contrasted by the adversative conjunction in vayehōwa {וַֽיהוָ֖ה | wa-yə-hō-wāh} ‘and the LORD’ followed by the Piel perfect diber {דִבֵּֽר | dib-bēr} ‘has spoken’, emphasizing the irony of divine silence.

In context — Ezekiel 22:28
Her prophets have covered them with whitewash, seeing vanity and practicing divination, saying, “Thus says the Lord GOD ,” though the LORD has not spoken.
