Deuteronomy 18:15-22

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

16This is 2in accordance with everything that you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Do not let me hear the voice of the Lord my God again, and do not let me see this great fire anymore, or I will die!’

17And 3the Lord said to me, ‘They have 4spoken well.

18I will raise up for them a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and 5I will put My words in his mouth, and 6he shall speak to them everything that I command him.

197And it shall come about that whoever does not listen to My words which he speaks in My name, I Myself will 8require it of him.

20But the prophet who speaks a word 9presumptuously in My name, a word which I have not commanded him to speak, or 10which he speaks in the name of other gods, 11that prophet shall die.’

21And if you say in your heart, ‘How will we recognize the word which the Lord has not spoken?’

2212When the prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, and the thing does not happen or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it 13presumptuously; you are not to be afraid of him.
