Numbers 22:15-22

15Then Balak sent other officers to speak to Balaam. These officers were even more important than the first group, and there were more of them.

16They said to Balaam, ‘King Balak says, “Do not let anything stop you from coming to me.

17I will certainly make you rich and famous. I will do for you anything that you want. So please come and curse these people for me.” ’

18Balaam said to them, ‘No, I will only do what the Lord tells me. I can do no more than that, and no less. Even if Balak gives me his house, all his gold and all his silver, I will only do what the Lord says.

19Stay here tonight, as the other men did. I will talk to the Lord and see if he has anything more to tell me.’

20That night, God said to Balaam, ‘These men have asked you to go with them, so go with them. But only do what I tell you.’

21In the morning, Balaam prepared his donkey to travel. He went with the officers to Moab.

22God was angry because Balaam went with the men. The angel of the Lord stood on the road to stop Balaam. Balaam was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.
