A New Prophet Like Moses

20 Any prophet who dares to say something in my name that I did not command him to say or who speaks in the name of other gods must die. 21 You may say in your heart, ‘How will we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ 22 If a prophet speaks in Jehovah's name and what he says does not happen or come true, then it did not come from Jehovah. That prophet has spoken on his own authority. Never be afraid of him.'
