Deuteronomy 18:15-22

15“1The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your 2countrymen, you shall listen to him.

16This is 3according to all that you asked of the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, let me not see this great fire anymore, or I will die.’

174The Lord said to me, ‘They have 5spoken well.

18I will raise up a prophet from among their 6countrymen like you, and 7I will put My words in his mouth, and 8he shall speak to them all that I command him.

199It shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him.

20But the prophet who speaks a word 10presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or 11which he speaks in the name of other gods, 12that prophet shall die.’

2113You may say in your heart, ‘How will we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’

2214When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it 15presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
