Numbers 22:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ that a people who came from Egypt has spread out over the whole land. He wants me to curse them for him, so that he can fight them and drive them out.”

¹² God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them, and do not put a curse on the people of Israel, because they have my blessing.”

¹³ The next morning Balaam went to Balak's messengers and said, “Go back home; the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”
