Deuteronomy 18:20-22

« Deut 17Deut 18Deut 19 »

20 But the prophet who speaks a word ^apresumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or ^bwhich he speaks in the name of other gods, ¹that prophet shall die.’ 21 Now ¹you may say in your heart, ‘How will we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?’ 22 ^aWhen a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it ^bpresumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
