Numbers 22:12-16

¹²And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them, neither shalt thou curse the people; for they are blessed.

¹³And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Depart quickly to your lord; God does not permit me to go with you.

¹⁴And the princes of Moab rose, and came to Balak, and said, Balaam will not come with us.

¹⁵And Balak yet again sent more princes and more honorable than they.

¹⁶And they came to Balaam, and they say to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: I beseech thee, delay not to come to me.
