Numbers 22:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹² God said to Balaam, ‘You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.’ ¹³ So Balaam rose in the morning, and said to the officials of Balak, ‘Go to your own land, for the Lord has refused to let me go with you.’ ¹⁴ So the officials of Moab rose and went to Balak, and said, ‘Balaam refuses to come with us.’
