Numbers 22:13

Good News Translation

The next morning Balaam went to Balak's messengers and said, “Go back home; the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”

See the chapter Copy

God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them, and do not put a curse on the people of Israel, because they have my blessing.”

So they returned to Balak and told him that Balaam had refused to come with them.

But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; instead he turned the curse into a blessing, because he loved you.
