14. The princes returning, said to Balac: Balaam would not come with us.
15. Then he sent many more and more noble than he had sent before:
16. Who, when they were come to Balaam, said: Thus saith Balac the son of Sephor, Delay not to come to me:
17. For I am ready to honour thee, and will give thee whatsoever thou wilt: come and curse this people.
18. Balaam answered: If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot alter the word of the Lord my God, to speak either more or less.
19. I pray you to stay here this night also, that I may know what the Lord will answer me once more.
20. God therefore came to Balaam in the night, and said to him: It these men be come to call thee, arise and go with them: yet so, that thou do what I shall command thee.
