Deuteronomy 18:19-21
Tree of Life Version
[a] 19 Now whoever does not listen to My words that this prophet speaks in My Name, I Myself will call him to account. [b] 20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods—that prophet will die.’
21 “Now should you say in your heart, ‘How would we recognize the word that Adonai has not spoken?’
