Numbers 22:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ I will pay you very much,^[a] and I will do whatever you ask. Come and curse these people for me.”

¹⁸ Balaam gave Balak’s officials his answer. He said, “I must obey the Lord my God. I cannot do anything, great or small, against his command. Even if King Balak gives me his beautiful home filled with silver and gold, I will not do anything against the Lord’s command. ¹⁹ But you can stay here tonight like the other men did, and during the night I will learn what the Lord wants to tell me.”
