They went astray, forsaking the right way. They followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing. He was rebuked for his own transgression. A beast of burden spoke with a man's voice and restrained (hindered) the madness of the prophet.
Balaam answered Balak's servants: Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not disobey the command of Jehovah my God no matter whether the request was important or not.
Balak said to him: Why did you not come when I sent for you the first time? Did you think I was not able to reward you enough? Balaam answered: I am here now. But now, what power do I have? I can say only what God tells me to say.
How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I condemn those whom Jehovah has not condemned?
Balaam replied to Balak: Did I not tell the messengers whom you sent to me: Even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything contrary to the command of Jehovah either good or bad, of my own accord. What Jehovah speaks, that I will speak! Now I am going to my people. Come along and I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the days to come.
