14 E os príncipes de Moabe se levantaram, e vieram a Balaque, e disseram: Balaão não quis vir conosco.

15 E voltou Balaque a enviar outra vez mais príncipes, e mais nobres que os outros.

16 Os quais vieram a Balaão, e disseram-lhe: Assim diz Balaque, filho de Zipor: Rogo-te que não deixes de vir a mim:

17 Porque sem dúvida te honrarei muito, e farei tudo o que me disseres: vem pois agora, almaldiçoa para mim a este povo.

18 E Balaão respondeu, e disse aos servos de Balaque: Ainda que Balaque me desse sua casa cheia de prata e ouro, não posso transgredir a palavra do SENHOR meu Deus, para fazer coisa pequena nem grande.
