Numbers 22:16-20

¹⁶When they arrived they told Balaam, “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: ‘Please don't let anything stop you from coming to see me,

¹⁷because I will pay you a great deal and follow all the advice you give me. Please come and curse these people for me!’”

¹⁸But Balaam told Balak's officials, “Even if Balak gave me his whole palace full of silver and gold, I couldn't disobey the command of the Lord my God in any way.

¹⁹Now you should also stay the night so I can see if the Lord has anything else to tell me.”

²⁰God came to Balaam during the night and told him, “Since these men have come for you, get up and go with them. But only do what I tell you.”
