Deuteronomy 18:18-22

18I will raiseH6965 upH6965 for them a prophetH5030 from amongH7130 their countrymenH251 likeH3644 you, and 1I will putH5414 My wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310, and 2he shall speakH1696 to them everythingH3605 that I commandH6680 him.

193And it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961 that whoeverH376H834 does not listenH8085 to My wordsH1697 whichH834 he speaksH1696 in My nameH8034, I MyselfH595 will 4requireH1875 it of him.

20But the prophetH5030 whoH834 speaksH1696 a wordH1697 5presumptuouslyH2102 in My nameH8034, a word whichH834 I have not commandedH6680 him to speakH1696, or 6whichH834 he speaksH1696 in the nameH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, 7that prophetH5030 shall dieH4191.’

21And ifH3588 you sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘HowH351 will we recognizeH3045 the wordH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 has not spokenH1696?’

228WhenH834 the prophetH5030 speaksH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, and the thingH1697 does not happenH1961 or comeH935 true, that is the thingH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 has not spokenH1696. The prophetH5030 has spokenH1696 it 9presumptuouslyH2087; you are not to be afraidH1481 of him.
