When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.

ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૧૮:૨૨
જયારે કોઈ પ્રબોધક યહોવાહના નામે બોલે અને જો તે વાત પ્રમાણે ન થાય, અથવા તે પૂરી કરવામાં ન આવે, તો તે વાત યહોવાહ બોલ્યા નથી એમ તમારે જાણવું; પ્રબોધક ગર્વથી તે બોલ્યા છે, તેનાથી તું બીશ નહિ.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण १८:२२
तो पहचान यह है कि जब कोई नबी यहोवा के नाम से कुछ कहे; तब यदि वह वचन न घटे और पूरा न हो जाए, तो वह वचन यहोवा का कहा हुआ नहीं; परन्तु उस नबी ने वह बात अभिमान करके कही है, तू उससे भय न खाना।

In context

20But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”

21You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?”

22When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
