11. Flee to your place now. I said I would richly honor you, but look, Yahweh has withheld honor from you.”
12. Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,
13. ‘If Balak gave to me the fullness of his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond the command of Yahweh to do good or evil, from my heart; what Yahweh speaks, I will speak’?
14. And now, look, I am about to go to my people; I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the following days.”
