14 Et les princes de Moab se levèrent, retournèrent auprès de Balak, et dirent: Balaam a refusé de venir avec nous.

15 Balak envoya de nouveau des chefs en plus grand nombre et plus considérés que les précédents.

16 Ils arrivèrent auprès de Balaam, et lui dirent: Ainsi parle Balak, fils de Tsippor: Que l’on ne t’empêche donc pas de venir vers moi;

17 car je te rendrai beaucoup d’honneurs, et je ferai tout ce que tu me diras; viens, je te prie, maudis-moi ce peuple.

18 Balaam répondit et dit aux serviteurs de Balak: Quand Balak me donnerait sa maison pleine d’argent et d’or, je ne pourrais faire aucune chose, ni petite ni grande, contre l’ordre de l’Éternel, mon Dieu.
