Numbers 22:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ I’m determined to reward you generously, and I’ll do everything you tell me to do. So come right away and curse this people for me.’”

¹⁸ Balaam responded to Balak’s entourage by saying, “Even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I won’t double-cross the command of the Lord my God in even the slightest way.^{[a] 19} Meanwhile, stay here overnight so I may learn what the Lord might say to me.”
