Deuteronomy 18:17-22 New International Version (NIV)

17 The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet(A) like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words(B) in his mouth.(C) He will tell them everything I command him.(D) 19 I myself will call to account(E) anyone who does not listen(F) to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.(G) 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods,(H) is to be put to death.”(I)

21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true,(J) that is a message the Lord has not spoken.(K) That prophet has spoken presumptuously,(L) so do not be alarmed.
