Balaam made answer to Balac: Did I not say to thy messengers, whom thou sentest to me:
Balaam answered: If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot alter the word of the Lord my God, to speak either more or less.
He answered him: Lo, here I am: shall I have power to speak any other thing but that which God shall put in my mouth?
Return to thy place. I had determined indeed greatly to honour thee: but the Lord hath deprived thee of the honour designed for thee.
