13. ‘Balak could give me his palace filled with silver and gold. But I still cannot go against the Lord’s commands. I could not do anything, good or bad, on my own. I must say what the Lord says.’
14. Now I am going back to my own people. But I will tell you what these people will do to your people in the future.”
15. Then Balaam gave this message:“This is the message of Balaam son of Beor.This is the message of a man who sees clearly.
