Deuteronomy 18:18–22
18 I will raise up for them a Prophet from among their brothers, like you, and I will put My words in His mouth, and He will speak to them everything that I command Him; 19 and whoever will not listen to My words that He will speak in My name, I will require it of him; 20 but the prophet who dares to speak in My name something that I have not commanded him to speak, and who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall be put to death. 21 And if you say in your heart, “How shall we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?” 22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, but the word does not come to pass or come true, then the Lord has not spoken that word; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
