16 And when these had come to Balaam, they said: 'So says Balak, the son of Zippor. Do not hesitate to come to me.
17 For I am ready to honor you, and whatever you would want, I shall give to you. Come and curse this people.'
18 Balaam responded: 'Even if Balak were to give to me his own house, filled with silver and gold, I still would not be able to change the word of the Lord my God, neither to say more, nor to say less.
19 I beg you to remain for this night also, so that I may know what the Lord will answer me again.'
20 Therefore, God came to Balaam in the night, and said to him: 'If these men have arrived to call you, then rise up and go with them; yet only in so far as you shall do what I will command you.'
