Bible Verses About Balaam

These people have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Bil‘am Ben-B‘or, who loved the wages of doing harm

but was rebuked for his sin — a dumb beast of burden spoke out with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s insanity!

Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: you have some people who hold to the teaching of Bil‘am, who taught Balak to set a trap for the people of Isra’el, so that they would eat food that had been sacrificed to idols and commit sexual sin.

Likewise, you too have people who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
