16. The Lord met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, “Go again to Balak, and thus you will speak.”
17. When he came to him, he was standing by his burnt offerings with the princes of Moab. And Balak said to him, “What has the Lord spoken?”
18. And he took up his parable and said: “Rise up, Balak, and hear!Listen to me, you son of Zippor!
19. God is not a man, that He should lie,nor a son of man, that He should repent.Has He spoken, and will He not do it?Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
