And Bilam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that Elohim putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
And Bilam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of YY my Elohim, to do less or more.
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond The Commandment of YY , to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what YY saith, that will I speak?
And Balak said unto Bilam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?
