Deuteronomy 18:9-22

9“When you enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to 12imitate the detestable things of those nations. 10There shall not be found among you anyone 3who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, a 4soothsayer, one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11or one who casts a spell, 5or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who consults the dead. 12For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord; and 6because of these detestable things the Lord your God is going to drive them out before you. 137You are to be blameless before the Lord your God. 14For these nations, which you are going to dispossess, listen to 8soothsayers and diviners, but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do so.

15“9The 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 10in 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 11the Lord said to me, ‘They have 12spoken well. 18I will raise up for them a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and 13I will put My words in his mouth, and 14he shall speak to them everything that I command him. 1915And it shall come about that whoever does not listen to My words which he speaks in My name, I Myself will 16require it of him. 20But the prophet who speaks a word 17presumptuously in My name, a word which I have not commanded him to speak, or 18which he speaks in the name of other gods, 19that prophet shall die.’ 21And if you say in your heart, ‘How will we recognize the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ 2220When 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 21presumptuously; you are not to be afraid of him.
