Numbers 24:10-13

10Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his 1hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times!

11Therefore, 2flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the Lord has held you back from honor.”

12Balaam said to Balak, “3Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,

13‘Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything contrary to the 4command of the Lord, either good or bad, 5of my own 6accord. 7What the Lord speaks, that I will speak’?
