Numbers 23:4-6
New English Translation

4 Then God met Balaam, who[a] said to him, “I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.” 5 Then the Lord put a message[b] in Balaam’s mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and speak what I tell you.”[c]

6 So he returned to him, and he was still[d] standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab.
