Deuteronomy 18:22

Compare all

20 But ^athe prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or ^bwho speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’

21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’—

22 ^awhen a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, ^bif the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it ^cpresumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.

Deuteronomy 18:22

If the thing - Which he gives as a sign of the truth of his prophecy. The falsehood of his prediction shews him to be a false prophet. Presumptuously - Impudently ascribing his own vain and lying fancies to the God of truth.
