18. I will raise up a prophet from among their brothers, like you, and will put My words in his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him.
19. It will be that whoever will not listen to My words which he will speak in My name, I will require it of him.
20. But the prophet, who presumes to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods—that prophet shall die.”
21. And you may say in your heart, “How can we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?”
22. When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not occur or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
