and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, `Balaam is refusing to come with us.'
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 Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,
and Balak saith unto Balaam, `Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?'
