15¶ And Balak sent yet againe Princes, moe, and more honourable then they. 16And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor; Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from comming vnto me: 17For I wil promote thee vnto very great honour, and I will do whatsoeuer thou saiest vnto me: Come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 18And Balaam answered and said vnto the seruants of Balak, If Balak would giue me his house full of siluer and gold, I cannot goe beyond the word of the Lord my God, to doe lesse or more. 19Now therefore, I pray you, tarie yee also here this night, that I may know what the Lord will say vnto me more.
