Numbers 24:11-13

Rotherham(i) 11 Now, therefore, flee thou unto thy place,––I said, I will, highly honour, thee; but lo! Yahweh hath kept thee back from honour. 12 And Balaam said unto Balak,––Was it not so, that, even unto thy messengers whom thou didst send unto me, I spake, saying–– 13 Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, yet could I not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh, to do good or ill, out of my own heart,––what Yahweh shall speak, that, must I speak?
