Numbers 24:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ So go home now. I said that I would pay you very well. But the Lord has stopped me from giving you anything.’

¹² Balaam said to Balak, ‘I already said this to the men that you sent to bring me. ¹³ I told them, “I can only speak the message that the Lord tells me. I cannot do good things or bad things just because I want to do them. Even if Balak gives his palace full of silver and gold to me, I cannot do anything different. I have to obey the Lord's command.”
