now therefore, I pray thee,
curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me:

smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I
wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is
cursed.

realize that you were standing in the road to
confront me. And

Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I
now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
