18. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kindred, and will put my words into the mouth of the prophet; the prophet shall tell them all that I command.
19. Anyone who will not listen to my words which the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will hold accountable for it.
20. But if a prophet presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.
21. Should you say to yourselves, “How can we recognize that a word is one the Lord has not spoken?”,
22. if a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord but the word does not come true, it is a word the Lord did not speak. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; do not fear him.
