Numbers 22:13

Contemporary English Version 1995

The next morning, Balaam said to Balak's officials, “Go on back home. The Lord says I cannot go with you.”

See the chapter Copy

But the Lord your God loves you, so he refused to listen to Balaam and turned Balaam's curse into a blessing.

The officials left and told Balak that Balaam refused to come.

But God replied, “Don't go with Balak's messengers. I have blessed those people who have come from Egypt, so don't curse them.”
