Deuteronomy 18:20 in Context — Deuteronomy 18
18 Profeta les suscitaré de en medio de sus hermanos, como tú; y pondré mis palabras en su boca, y él les hablará todo lo que yo le mandare.
19 Mas será, que cualquiera que no oyere mis palabras que él hablare en mi nombre, yo le residenciaré.
20 Empero el profeta que presumiere hablar palabra en mi nombre, que yo no le haya mandado hablar, ó que hablare en nombre de dioses ajenos, el tal profeta morirá.
21 Y si dijeres en tu corazón: ¿Cómo conoceremos la palabra que Jehová no hubiere hablado?
22 Cuando el profeta hablare en nombre de Jehová, y no fuere la tal cosa, ni viniere, es palabra que Jehová no ha hablado: con soberbia la habló aquel profeta: no tengas temor de él.
