Numbers 22:37-39

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³⁷ Balak said to Balaam, ‘Did I not send to summon you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honour you?’ ³⁸ Balaam said to Balak, ‘I have come to you now, but do I have power to say just anything? The word God puts in my mouth, that is what I must say.’ ³⁹ Then Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.
