04:022:035 And the angel of the lord said unto Balaam, Go with the men: 
           but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou
           shalt speak.  So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

04:022:036 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet
           him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon,
           which is in the utmost coast.

04:022:037 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee
           to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able
           indeed to promote thee to honour?

04:022:038 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee:  have I
           now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God
           putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

04:022:039 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.

04:022:040 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to
           the princes that were with him.

04:022:041 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and
           brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he
           might see the utmost part of the people.

04:023:001 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
           prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.

04:023:002 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam
           offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.

04:023:003 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I
           will go:  peradventure the lord will come to meet me:  and
           whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee.  And he went to an
           high place.

04:023:004 And God met Balaam:  and he said unto him, I have prepared
           seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock
           and a ram.

04:023:005 And the lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return
           unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

04:023:006 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt
           sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

04:023:007 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab
           hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east,
           saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

04:023:008 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I
           defy, whom the lord hath not defied?

04:023:009 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I
           behold him:  lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be
           reckoned among the nations.

04:023:010 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth
           part of Israel?  Let me die the death of the righteous, and let
           my last end be like his!
