The Lord put a message in Balaam’s mouth. The Lord said, “Go back to Balak. Give him my message.”

So Balaam went back to him. He found Balak standing beside his offering. All the Moabite officials were with him. Then Balaam spoke the message he had received from God. He said,

‘Come,’ he said. ‘Put a curse on Jacob’s people for me.
    Come. Speak against Israel.’
