"If you say in your heart, "How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?""
— Deuteronomy 18:21, World English Bible
“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? ”
“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?”
“And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?”
I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die."
If you say in your heart, "How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?"
when a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh, if the thing doesn't follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
