Deuteronomy 18:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ But if someone will not listen to those words that the prophet^[a] speaks in my name, I will hold him accountable. ²⁰ Even then, if the prophet speaks presumptuously in my name, which I didn’t authorize him to speak, or if he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.’ ²¹ Now you may ask yourselves, ‘How will we be able to discern that the Lord has not spoken?’
