Numbers 22

¹⁵ Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first messengers.

¹⁶ They came to Balaam and said, “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,

¹⁷ for I will honor you richly and do whatever you say. So please come and put a curse on this people for me!’”

¹⁸ But Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything small or great to go beyond the command of the LORD my God.

¹⁹ So now, please stay here overnight as the others did, that I may find out what else the LORD has to tell me.”
