Numbers 24:10-13

10Then Balak’sH1111 angerH639 burnedH2734 againstH413 BalaamH1109, and he struckH5606 his 1handsH3709 togetherH5606; and BalakH1111 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, “I calledH7121 you to curseH6895 my enemiesH340, but beholdH2009, you have persistedH1288 in blessingH1288 them theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH6471!

11So 2fleeH1272 to your placeH4725 nowH6258. I saidH559 I would honorH3513 you greatlyH3513, but beholdH2009, the LordH3068 has heldH4513 you backH4513 from honorH3519.”

12And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to BalakH1111, “3Did I not inH1571 factH1571 tellH1696 your messengersH4397 whomH834 you had sentH7971 to me, sayingH559,

13‘IfH518 BalakH1111 were to giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I couldH3201 not doH6213 anything contraryH5674 to the 4commandH6310 of the LordH3068, either goodH2899 orH176 badH7451, 5of my own 6accordH3820. 7WhatH834 the LordH3068 speaksH1696, I will 8speakH1696’?
