    11 'Behold, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covers the surface of the earth: now, come curse me them; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.'"

    12 God said to Balaam, "You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people; for they are blessed."

    17 for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.'"

    18 Balaam answered the servants of Balak, "If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of Yahweh my God, to do less or more.

    19 Now therefore, please wait also here this night, that I may know what Yahweh will speak to me more."
