'But the prophet who speaks a word ^(C1)presumptuously in My name, a word which I have not commanded him to speak, or ^(C2)which he speaks in the name of other gods, ^(F1)that prophet shall die.'

"And if you say in your heart, 'How will we recognize the word which the LORD has not spoken?'

"^(C1)When the prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, and the thing does not happen or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it ^(C2)presumptuously; you are not to be afraid of him.
