25. Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
26. But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do?’”
27. Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
28. Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.
