Deuteronomy:18:14-22
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:14 @ For these nations, which you are about to dispossess, give heed to soothsayers and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:15 @ "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brethren--him you shall heed--
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:16 @ just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, `Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, or see this great fire any more, lest I die.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:17 @ And the LORD said to me, `They have rightly said all that they have spoken.
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:18 @ I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:19 @ And whoever will not give heed to my words which he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:20 @ 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 same prophet shall die.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:21 @ And if you say in your heart, `How may we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?'--
rsv@Deuteronomy:18:22 @ when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you need not be afraid of him.
