And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Bilam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the kohanim thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon YY , and say, Is not YY among us? none evil can come upon us.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Y'shuw`a HaMoshiach, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
And when Bilam saw that it pleased YY to bless Yisrael, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
Surely there is no enchantment against Yaakov, neither is there any divination against Yisrael: according to this time it shall be said of Yaakov and of Yisrael, What hath Elohim wrought!
For the king of Bavel stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
