Numbers 22:11-13

The Message

^10-11 Balaam answered, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent them with a message: ‘Look, the people that came up out of Egypt are all over the place! Come and curse them for me. Maybe then I’ll be able to attack and drive them out of the country.’”

¹² God said to Balaam, “Don’t go with them. And don’t curse the others—they are a blessed people.”

¹³ The next morning Balaam got up and told Balak’s nobles, “Go back home; God refuses to give me permission to go with you.”
