12. Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,
13. 'Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything contrary to the command of the Lord, either good or bad, of my own accord. What the Lord speaks, that I will speak'?
14. And now, behold, I am going to my people; come, and I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the days to come."
