Deuteronomy 18:19-22

191It shall comeH1961 about that whoeverH376H834 will not listenH8085 to My wordsH1697 whichH834 he shall speakH1696 in My nameH8034, I MyselfH595 will requireH1875 it of him.

20But the prophetH5030 whoH834 speaksH1696 a wordH1697 2presumptuouslyH2102 in My nameH8034 whichH834 I have not commandedH6680 him to speakH1696, or 3whichH834 he speaksH1696 in the nameH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, 4that prophetH5030 shall dieH4191.’

215You may sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘HowH351 will we knowH3045 the wordH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 has not spokenH1696?’

226WhenH834 a prophetH5030 speaksH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, if the thingH1697 does not comeH1961 about or comeH935 true, that is the thingH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 has not spokenH1696. The prophetH5030 has spokenH1696 it 7presumptuouslyH2087; you shall not be afraidH1481 of him.
