12God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people; for they are blessed.
13Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Get you into your land; for Yahweh refuses to give me leave to go with you.
14The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
15Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
16They came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me:
17for 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.
18Balaam 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 Yahweh my God, to do less or more.
