Deuteronomy 18:18 'I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. 19 If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death.'

Ok, I give up...how does this demonstrate that God can't fib?

God was just stating that His demands on the prophets were such that when they spoke the words that God had given to them, the message better not contain anything that wasn't supposed to be there or the prophet would be put to death. Does it demonstrate that God can't fib? Probably not but it does show the lengths that God takes to make sure His message was spelled out exactly as He intended. You honestly think that a God who cannot lie will give a lie to a prophet and then kill the prophet if the lie is embellished at all?
