14. And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak and said, Balaam refused to come with us.
15. And Balak sent yet again princes, more and more honourable than those.
16. And they came to Balaam and said to him, Thus saith Balak, the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me;
17. for I will without a doubt honour thee greatly, and I will do whatever thou sayest unto me; come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
18. And Balaam answered and said unto the slaves of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do anything small or great.
