15. Balak again sent princes, more, and more honorable than they.
16. They came to Balaam, and said to him, “Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,
17. for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.’”
18. Balaam answered the servants of Balak, “If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more.
19. Now therefore please stay here tonight as well, that I may know what else the Lord will speak to me.”
