Deuteronomy 18:20

A New Prophet Like Moses

¹⁹ It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. ²⁰ But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die." ²¹ If you say in your heart, "How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?"
