Deuteronomio 18:22

Listen to Deuteronomio 18:22
22 Quando il profeta avrà detta alcuna cosa a Nome del Signore, e quella cosa non sarà, e non avverrà; quella cosa sarà quella che il Signore non avrà detta; quel profeta l’avrà pronunziata per presunzione; non temer di lui.

Deuteronomio 18:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 18:22

When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord
Says he comes from God, is sent by him, and has a commission from him to say so:

if the thing follow not, nor come to pass;
as the prophecy of Hananiah, ( Jeremiah 28:3 ) that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken; or otherwise it would have come to pass, unless when a condition is either expressed or implied, as the repentance or disobedience of a people; see ( Jeremiah 18:7-10 )

but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously;
in a bold and daring manner, with great impiety and impudence, out of his own head and heart, being a mere device and imagination of his own, which, not having the fear of God, he delivered as coming from the Lord:

thou shall not be afraid of him;
not only to reprove him for his wickedness, but also to punish him for it; showing no regard to the high character he assumes, nor to the great pretensions he makes to sanctity, knowledge, and familiarity with God.

Deuteronomio 18:22 In-Context

20 Ma altresì, se alcuno presuntuosamente imprende di dire a mio Nome cosa alcuna, ch’io non gli abbia comandata di dire, ovvero parla a nome di dii stranieri, sia fatto morire.
21 E se tu dici nel cuor tuo: Come conosceremo la parola che il Signore non avrà detta?
22 Quando il profeta avrà detta alcuna cosa a Nome del Signore, e quella cosa non sarà, e non avverrà; quella cosa sarà quella che il Signore non avrà detta; quel profeta l’avrà pronunziata per presunzione; non temer di lui.
