Stone Those Who Prophesy Against Yahweh

13 [a](A)If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, ‘(B)Let us walk after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is (C)testing you to find out if (D)you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul. (E)You shall walk after Yahweh your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and (F)cling to Him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be (G)put to death because he has [b]counseled [c]rebellion against Yahweh your God who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of [d]slavery, (H)to drive you from the way in which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk. (I)So you shall purge the evil from among you.

Jerusalem Refined and Tested

13 “In that day a (A)fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for (B)sin and for (C)impurity.

“And it will be in that day,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “that I will (D)cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also cause the (E)prophets and the (F)unclean spirit to pass away from the land. And it will be that if anyone still (G)prophesies, then his father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him, ‘You shall (H)not live, for you have spoken (I)falsely in the name of Yahweh’; and his (J)father and mother who gave birth to him will pierce him through when he prophesies. And it will be in that day, that the prophets will each be (K)ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a (L)hairy mantle in order to deceive; but he will say, ‘I am (M)not a prophet; I am a cultivator of the ground, for a man [a]sold me as a slave in my youth.’
