A New Prophet | 15The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. | 15“The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— | 15"The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him. | 15The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; | 15The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers.

| 16For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, "Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die." | 16just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ | 16"This is according to all that you asked of the LORD your God in Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, let me not see this great fire anymore, or I will die.' | 16According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. | 16This is what you requested from the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, 'Let us not continue to hear the voice of the LORD our God or see this great fire any longer, so that we will not die!' |
| 17The LORD said to me: "What they say is good. | 17And the LORD said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. | 17"The LORD said to me, 'They have spoken well. | 17And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. | 17Then the LORD said to me, 'They have spoken well. |
| 18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him. | 18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. | 18'I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. | 18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. | 18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. |
| 19I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name. | 19And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. | 19It shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him. | 19And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. | 19I will hold accountable whoever does not listen to My words that he speaks in My name. |
| 20But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death." | 20But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ | 20'But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' | 20But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. | 20But the prophet who dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods--that prophet must die.' |
| 21You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?" | 21And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’— | 21"You may say in your heart, 'How will we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' | 21And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? | 21You may say to yourself, 'How can we recognize a message the LORD has not spoken?' |
| 22If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed. | 22when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him. | 22"When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him. | 22When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. | 22When a prophet speaks in the LORD's name, and the message does not come true or is not fulfilled, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him." |
