Deuteronomy 18:20

A New Prophet Like Moses

¹⁹ And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me. ²⁰ But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death. ²¹ And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?
