Numbers 22:8-14

8“SpendH3885 the nightH3915 hereH6311,” Balaam repliedH559H413, “and I will giveH7725 you the answerH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 speaksH1696 to meH413.” So the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 stayedH3427 withH5973 BalaamH1109.

9Then GodH430 cameH935 toH413 BalaamH1109 and askedH559, “WhoH4310 are theseH428 menH582 with youH5973?”

10And BalaamH1109 saidH559 toH413 GodH430, “BalakH1111 sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, sent meH7971 this messageH413: 11‘BeholdH2009, a peopleH5971 has come outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and they coverH3680 the faceH5869 of the landH776. NowH6258 comeH1980 and put a curseH6895 on themH853 for me. Perhaps I mayH194 be ableH3201 to fightH3898 against them and drive them awayH1644.’”

12But GodH430 saidH559 toH413 BalaamH1109, “Do notH3808 goH1980 with themH5973. You are notH3808 to curseH779 this peopleH5971, forH3588 theyH1931 are blessedH1288.”

13So BalaamH1109 got upH6965 the next morningH1242 and saidH559 toH413 Balak’sH1111 princesH8269, “Go backH1980 toH413 your homelandH776, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 has refusedH3985 to let meH5414 goH1980 with youH5973.”

14And the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 aroseH6965, returnedH935 toH413 BalakH1111, and saidH559, “BalaamH1109 refusedH3985 to comeH1980 with usH5973.”
