And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saith unto the princes of Balak, ‘Go unto your land, for Jehovah is refusing to suffer me to go with you;’
and God saith unto Balaam, ‘Thou dost not go with them; thou dost not curse the people; for it [is] blessed.’
and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, ‘Balaam is refusing to come with us.’
and Jehovah thy God hath not been willing to hearken unto Balaam, and Jehovah thy God doth turn for thee the reviling to a blessing, because Jehovah thy God hath loved thee;
