Numbers 22:15-20

Modern English Version

¹⁵ Again Balak sent officials, more numerous and more honorable than they. ¹⁶ They came to Balaam and said to him,

“Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, ‘Please, let nothing hold you back from coming to me, ¹⁷ because I will promote you to very great honor, and anything you say to me I will do. Come please, curse this people for me.’ ”

¹⁸ Balaam answered the servants of Balak, “If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond the command of the Lord my God, to do less or more. ¹⁹ Now please remain here tonight, that I may know what more the Lord will say to me.”

²⁰ God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men come to call you, rise up and go with them. But surely the word which I will say to you, that will you do.”
