37 Balak spoke to Balaam. He said, "Didn't I send messengers to you? I wanted you to come quickly. So why didn't you come? I can make you very rich."
38 "Well, I've come to you now," Balaam replied. "But I can't say just anything. I can only speak the words God puts in my mouth."
39 Then Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath Huzoth.
40 Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep. He gave some to Balaam. He also gave some to the princes who were with him.
