Deuteronomy 13

The False Prophet

1 "If a prophet or someone who has dreams  * 13:1 1Sm 28:6,15; Jr 23:27,32; 29:8; Zch 10:2 arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you, 2 and that sign or wonder he has promised you comes about, but he says, ‘Let’s follow other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let’s worship them,’ 3 do not listen to that prophet’s words or to that dreamer. For the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul.  * 13:3 Dt 6:5; 11:13; Jos 22:5; Mt 22:374 You must follow the Lord your God and fear him. You must keep his commands and listen to him; you must worship him and remain faithful  * 13:4 Lit and hold on to him.  * 13:4 Dt 10:20; Jr 13:10; 25:6
