Deuteronomy:18:15-22
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst ,
from your brethren .
Him you shall hear ,
*
according to all you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly ,
saying , "
Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God ,
nor let me see this great fire anymore ,
lest I die .'
* "
And the LORD said to me : "
What they have spoken is good .
*
I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren ,
and will put My words in His mouth ,
and He shall speak to them all that I command Him .
*
And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words ,
which He speaks in My name ,
I will require it of him .
*
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 shall die .'
*
And if you say in your heart , "
How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken ?'--
*
when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD ,
if the thing does not happen or come to pass ,
that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken ;
the prophet has spoken it presumptuously ;
you shall not be afraid of him .
