God's voice doesn't miss.
Ever.

God's voice never misses, but people miss God's voice, that is why in
I Cor 14 the prophets judge. Note
I Cor. 13 also says that prophecy is in part as well, and we see through the glass darkly...
Look at what the NT says about false teachers (which is the NT equivalent to the OT prophet)
2 Peter 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
