Numbers 22:16-18

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁶ They came to Balaam and said to him, ‘This is what Balak son of Zippor says: “Let nothing keep you from coming to me, ¹⁷ for I will greatly honour you and do whatever you ask me. So please come and put a curse on these people for me! ” ’

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