Numbers 22:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Balaam responded to Balak’s entourage by saying, “Even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I won’t double-cross the command of the Lord my God in even the slightest way.^{[a] 19} Meanwhile, stay here overnight so I may learn what the Lord might say to me.”

²⁰ God came to visit Balaam that same night and told him, “If the men come to call on you, get up and go with them, but be sure to do only what I tell you to do.”
