FIRST READING 

“I will raise up a prophet; I will put my words in his mouth ” 

the book of Deuteronomy (18, 15-20) 

Moses said to the people: “In the midst of you, among your brethren, the Lord your God will raise up a prophet like me, and you will listen to him. This is exactly what you asked of the Lord your God, at Mount Horeb, on the day of the assembly, when you said: “I no longer want to hear the voice of the Lord my God, I no longer want to see this great flame. , I do not want to die !" And the Lord said to me then: “They did well to say that. I will raise up a prophet like you among their brethren; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will speak to them whatever I command him. If anyone does not listen to the words that this prophet will speak on my behalf, I will ask him to account.

But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded him, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet will die. ” " 

The Word of the Lord
