Deuteronomy 13:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

How Israel Is to Deal with False Prophets

13 ^[a]One of your people, claiming to be a prophet or to have prophetic dreams, may predict a miraculous sign or an amazing thing. ² What he predicts may even take place. But don’t listen to that prophet or dreamer ^[b] if he says, “Let’s worship and serve other gods.” (Those gods may be gods you’ve never heard of.) ³ The Lord your God is testing you to find out if you really love him with all your heart and with all your soul.
