Balak said to Balaam, “Didn’t I earnestly send for you to summon you? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honour?”
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
Balaam said to Balak, “Behold, I have come to you. Have I now any power at all to speak anything? I will speak the word that God puts in my mouth.”
Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honour; but, behold, the LORD has kept you back from honour.”
The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
