Balak's Anger and Balaam's Defense

Numbers 24:10-14

And Balac being angry against Balaam, clapped his hands together and said: I called thee to curse my enemies, and thou on the contrary hast blessed them three times.

Return to thy place. I had determined indeed greatly to honour thee, but the Lord hath deprived thee of the honour designed for thee.

Balaam made answer to Balac: Did I not say to thy messengers, whom thou sentest to me:

If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to utter any thing of my own head either good or evil: but whatsoever the Lord shall say, that I will speak?

But yet going to my people, I will give thee counsel, what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
