Numbers 24:12-14

New International Version - UK

¹² Balaam answered Balak, ‘Did I not tell the messengers you sent me, ¹³ “Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the Lord – and I must say only what the Lord says”? ¹⁴ Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come.’
