10Then Balak’sH1111 angerH639 burnedH2734 againstH413 BalaamH1109, and he struckH5606 his 6handsH3709 togetherH5606; and BalakH1111 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, “I calledH7121 you to curseH6895 my enemiesH340, but beholdH2009, you have persistedH1288 in blessingH1288 them theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH6471! 11Therefore, 7fleeH1272 to your placeH4725 nowH6258. I saidH559 I would honorH3513 you greatlyH3513, but beholdH2009, the LordH3068 has heldH4513 you backH4513 from honorH3519.”
