So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?
Then King Zedekiah sent and got him out: and the king, questioning him secretly in his house, said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You will be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon.
And the Lord came to Balaam, and put words in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.
And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, Up! Balak, and give ear; give attention to me, O son of Zippor:
But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?
And he said, What did the Lord say to you? Do not keep it from me: may God's punishment be on you if you keep from me anything he said to you.
