A jesliżbyś tak rozbierać chciał w myśli swej: Jakoż rozeznać mam słowa ty, których Pan do niego nie mówił?
A jeźlibyś rzekł w sercu swem: Jakoż rozeznamy to słowo, którego nie mówił Pan?
A jeślibyś się zastanawiał: Po czym poznam, że tych słów nie oznajmił sam PAN?
A gdybyś powiedział w swoim sercu: Jak my mamy poznać słowo, którego nie wypowiedział WIEKUISTY?
A jeźlibyś rzekł w sercu swem: Jakoż rozeznamy to słowo, którego nie mówił Pan?
A jeśli powiesz w swym sercu: Jak rozpoznamy to słowo, którego PAN nie wypowiedział?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if thou say in thine heart, &c] Such a thought arises in the mind, and it appears to be a difficulty, and a query is made upon it,
how shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? What marks, signs, and criterions are those by which it may be known that it is not a word that comes from the Lord?
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And if thou say in thine heart, How ... - The passage evidently assumes such an occasion for consulting the prophet as was usual among the pagan, e. g., an impending battle or other such crisis (compare 1 Kings 22:11), in which his veracity would soon be put to the test. Failure of a prediction is set forth as a sure note of its being âpresumptuous.â But from Deuteronomy 13:2 ff we see that the fulfillment of a prediction would not decisively accredit him who uttered it: for the prophet or dreamer of dreams who endeavoured on the strength of miracles to seduce to idolatry was to be rejected and punished. Nothing therefore contrary to the revealed truth of God was to be accepted under any circumstances.
