And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your own land,—For Yahweh hath refused to let me go with you.
Nevertheless, Yahweh thy God consented not to hearken unto Balaam, but Yahweh thy God turned, for thee, the curse into a blessing,—because Yahweh thy God loved thee.
So the princes of Moab arose, and came in unto Balak,—and said, Balaam refused to come with us.
And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them,—Thou shalt not curse the people, For blessed, he is.
