When Balak saw Balaam, he said to him, “I asked you before to come. I told you it was very, very important. Why didn’t you come to me? I might not be able to pay you now.”
Balak became very angry at Balaam. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to come and speak against my enemies. But you have blessed them. You have blessed them three times.
Not only those things, but now I think that all things are worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of Christ, I lost all those things \{I thought were important\}. And now I know that all those things are worthless trash. This allows me to have Christ.
