And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men; but say only what I give you to say. Then Balaam went on with the chiefs of Balak.
So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
Now Balak, hearing that Balaam had come, went to the chief town of Moab, on the edge of the Arnon, in the farthest part of the land, for the purpose of meeting him.
And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
But I did not give ear to Balaam; and so he went on blessing you; and I kept you safe from him.
He whose ways are upright will be safe, but sudden will be the fall of him whose ways are twisted.
