Deuteronomy 18:18-22 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

18. a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him;

19. and it hath been--the man who doth not hearken unto My words which he doth speak in My name, I require [it] of him.

20. `Only, the prophet who presumeth to speak a word in My name--that which I have not commanded him to speak--and who speaketh in the name of other gods--even that prophet hath died.

21. `And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? --

22. that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing is not, and cometh not--it [is] the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; --thou art not afraid of him.
