What is the meaning of "u'Va El ha'Navi Lidrash Lo Vi"?

What do we learn from "Ani Hashem Na'aneh Lo Bi"?

1.

Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: [If he asks the Navi what I said,] I will seek him.

2.

Radak: I, Hashem, will answer him due to My name, in order to reveal what is hidden in his evil heart. I will not grant his request, rather, the opposite of it. "I will put My face against him" (8)!

3.

Malbim: It seems to him that he engages in Me, to know the future via Me, and not to heed My words and repent from his sins, for his idols are still on his heart.
