Deuteronomy 18:17-22

17And Jehovah saidH559 unto me, They have wellH3190 saidH559 that which they have spokenH1696. 18I will raiseH6965 them up a prophetH5030 from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will putH5414 my wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310, and he shall speakH1696 unto them all that I shall commandH6680 him. 19And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my wordsH1697 which he shall speakH1696 in my nameH8034, I will requireH1875 it of him.

20But the prophetH5030, that shall speakH1696 a wordH1697 presumptuouslyH2102 in my nameH8034, which I have not commandedH6680 him to speakH1696, or that shall speakH1696 in the nameH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, that same prophetH5030 shall dieH4191. 21And if thou sayH559 in thy heartH3824, HowH349 shall we knowH3045 the wordH1697 which Jehovah hath not spokenH1696? 22when a prophetH5030 speaketh in the nameH8034 of Jehovah, if the thingH1697 follow not, nor comeH935 to pass, that is the thingH1697 which Jehovah hath not spokenH1696: the prophetH5030 hath spokenH1696 it presumptuously, thou shalt not beH1961 afraidH1481 of him.
