Deuteronomio 18:20-22

20 "Pero el profeta que hable con presunción en mi nombre una palabra que yo no le haya mandado hablar, o que hable en el nombre de otros dioses, ese profeta morirá."

21 Y si dices en tu corazón: "¿Cómo conoceremos la palabra que el SEÑOR no ha hablado?"

22 Cuando un profeta hable en el nombre del SEÑOR, si la cosa no acontece ni se cumple, esa es la palabra que el SEÑOR no ha hablado; con presunción la ha hablado el profeta; no tendrás temor de él.

Deuteronomio 18:20-22 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 18

This chapter gives an account of the provision made for the priests and Levites, with the reason of it, De 18:1-5, of allowance of a country Levite to minister at Jerusalem, and take his portion with the rest, De 18:6-8, and of several persons of bad practices not to be suffered among the people of Israel, De 18:9-14, and of an extraordinary prophet that should be raised up among them, to whom they should hearken, or it would be the worse for them, De 18:15-19, but a false prophet was to be put to death, of whom a sign is given by which he might be known, De 18:20-22.
