* A prophet from the midst of thee , of thy brethren , like unto me , will the Lord thy God raise up unto thee ; unto him shall ye hearken : * According to all that thou didst desire of the Lord thy God at Horeb on the day of the assembly , saying , I wish no more to hear the voice of the Lord my God , and this great fire I wish not to see again , that I die not . * And the Lord said unto me , They have done well in what they have spoken . * A prophet will I raise up unto them from among their brethren , like unto thee ; and I will put my words in his mouth ; and he shall speak unto them all that I may command him . * And it shall come to pass , that if there be a man who will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name , I myself will require it of him . * But the prophet , who may presume to speak a word in my name , which I have not commanded him to speak , or who may speak in the name of other Gods even that prophet shall die . * And if thou shouldst say in thy heart , How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken ? * That which the prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord , and the thing do not happen and come not to pass –– this is the word which the Lord hath not spoken ; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it ; thou shalt not be afraid of him .
