Deuteronomy 18:17 In-Context

15 The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;

16 In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.

17 Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.

18 I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.

19 And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.
