Numbers 22:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ to ask me to go to Moab and put a curse on the people who have come there from Egypt. They have settled everywhere around him, and he wants to run them off.”

¹² But God replied, “Don't go with Balak's messengers. I have blessed those people who have come from Egypt, so don't curse them.”

¹³ The next morning, Balaam said to Balak's officials, “Go on back home. The Lord says I cannot go with you.”
