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.

19 Rogo-vos, portanto, agora, que repouseis aqui esta noite, para que eu saiba que me volta a dizer o SENHOR.

20 E veio Deus a Balaão de noite, e disse-lhe: Se homens vierem a te chamar, levanta-te e vai com eles: porém farás o que eu te disser.
