And Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?”
For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, on the boundary formed by the Arnon, at the extremity of the boundary.
Balaam said to Balak, “Lo, I have come to you! Have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that must I speak.”
Therefore now flee to your place; I said, ‘I will certainly honor you,’ but the Lord has held you back from honor.”
and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
