Deuteronomy 18:10-22

New King James Version

¹⁰There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter ^(A)pass^[a] through the fire, ^(B)or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, ¹¹^(C)or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or ^(D)one who calls up the dead. ¹²For all who do these things are ^[b]an abomination to the Lord, and ^(E)because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. ¹³You shall be ^[c]blameless before the Lord your God. ¹⁴For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not ^[d]appointed such for you.

A New Prophet Like Moses

¹⁵^(F)“The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, ¹⁶according to all you desired of the Lord your God in Horeb ^(G)in the day of the assembly, saying, ^(H)‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die.’

¹⁷“And the Lord said to me: ^(I)‘What they have spoken is good. ¹⁸^(J)I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and ^(K)will put My words in His mouth, ^(L)and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. ¹⁹^(M)And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him. ²⁰But ^(N)the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or ^(O)who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ ²¹And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’— ²²^(P)when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, ^(Q)if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it ^(R)presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
