Numbers 22:37

Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

Balak asked, “Why didn't you come when I invited you the first time? Did you think I wasn't going to pay you?”

See the chapter Copy

Our Lord and our God, victory doesn't come from the east or the west or from the desert.

When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went to meet him at the town of Ir on the Arnon River, which is the northern border of Moab.

“I'm here now,” Balaam answered. “But I will say only what God tells me to say.”
