King James Version with Apocrypha
"And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?"
— Deuteronomy 18:21, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?”
“And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? ”
“If you say in your heart, "How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?"”
“Now if you say to yourselves,‘How can we tell that a message is not from the LORD?’–”
“And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?”
“And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?”
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
