Exegesis

The protasis lo yishma’ {לֹֽא־יִשְׁמַע֙ | lō yiš-maʿ} ‘does not listen’ takes the object devarai {דְּבָרַ֔י | də-ḇā-rāy} ‘my words’, further specified by asher yedabber bishmi {אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְדַבֵּ֖ר בִּשְׁמִ֑י | ă-šer yə-dab-bēr biš-mî} ‘which he speaks in my name’, heightening the connection to prophetic speech.

In context — Deuteronomy 18:19

And it shall be that the man who does not listen to my words which the prophet shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
