13You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.
14For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.
15The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;
16In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.
17Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.
18I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.
19And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.
