## Numbers 22:17-19 in Context (Verses 14–22 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/numbers/22/14) And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/numbers/22/15) ¶ And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/numbers/22/16) And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/numbers/22/17) For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/numbers/22/18) And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/numbers/22/19) Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/numbers/22/20) And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, *and* go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/numbers/22/21) And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/numbers/22/22) ¶ And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants *were* with him.
