15. A prophet from among you, like me from among your brothers YHWH, your God, will raise up for you — to him you will listen.

16. As all things that you asked of YHWH your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when it was said, “Let me not hear again the voice of YHWH my God or see this great fire or else I will die.”

17. So YHWH said to me, “They are right in what they have spoken.

18. I will raise up a prophet for them from among their brothers like you. And I will give my words in his mouth and he will speak to them everything that I command him.

19. The man will be who does not listen to my words that this prophet will speak in my name I myself will require it from him.

20. Surely the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I did not command him to speak or which he said in the name of another god, this prophet will die.

21. And when you say in your heart, ‘How will we know the word that YHWH did not speak?’

22. — when the prophet would speak in the name of YHWH and the word does not come to pass or this word does not come true, then YHWH did not speak it. The prophet spoke it in presumption. Do not be afraid of him[1].”
