Then Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not urgently send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I indeed unable to honor you?”
¶For one’s rising up does not come from the east, nor from the west, And not from the desert;
Then Balak heard that Balaam was coming and went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the Arnon border, at the end of the border.
So Balaam said to Balak, “Behold, I have come now to you! Am I able to speak anything at all? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I shall speak.”
So now, flee to your place. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, Yahweh has held you back from honor.”
And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this dominion and its glory, for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the only God?
