So Balaam got up in the morning and said to Balak’s representatives, “Go back to your land, for the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”
But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
And the representatives from Moab got up and went to Balak, and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
Nevertheless, the Lord your God was unwilling to listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves you.
