New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their own people; I will put my words in the mouth of the prophet,[a] who shall speak to them everything that I command.(A) 19 Anyone who does not heed the words that the prophet[b] shall speak in my name, I myself will hold accountable.(B) 20 But any prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded the prophet to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’(C) 21 You may say to yourself, ‘How can we recognize a word that the Lord has not spoken?’ 22 If a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord but the thing does not take place or prove true, it is a word that the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; do not be frightened by it.(D)
