That night God came to Balaam and said,“ Since these men have come to summon you, go with them, but do only what I tell you.”

That night God came to Balaam. He said,“ These men have come to get you. So go with them. But do only what I tell you to do.”

And God came to Balaam at night and said to him,“ If the men have come to call you, rise, go with them; but only do what I tell you.”

That night God came to Balaam and told him,“ Since these men have come for you, get up and go with them. But do only what I tell you to do.”

And God came to Balaam at night and said to him,“ If the men have come to call you, rise and go with them; but you shall do only the thing that I tell you.”

And God came to Balaam at night and said to him,“ If the men come to call you, rise and go with them; but only the word which I speak to you— that you shall do.”

And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men are come to call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou do.

God came to Balaam at night and said to him,“ Since these men have come to summon you, get up and go with them, but you must only do what I tell you.”

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.

God came to Balaam that night, and said to him,“ If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them; but the word that I will say to you, that you must do.”

God came to Balaam at night, and said to him,“ If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do.”

If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go against the LORD’s command, to do anything good or bad of my own will? I will say whatever the LORD says.

But Balaam answered him,“ Didn’t I tell you: Whatever the LORD says, I must do?”

He answered,“ Shouldn’t I say exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”

Then the angel of the LORD said to Balaam,“ Go with the men, but you are to say only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials.

The LORD frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples.The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart from generation to generation.

The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with every kind of miracle, both signs and wonders serving the lie,and with every wicked deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth and so be saved.For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe the lie,so that all will be condemned— those who did not believe the truth but delighted in unrighteousness.

Because your raging against me and your arrogance have reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth; I will make you go back the way you came.

Before they had turned from what they craved, while the food was still in their mouths,God’s anger flared up against them, and he killed some of their best men. He struck down Israel’s fit young men.

I give you a king in my anger and take away a king in my wrath.

So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own plans.

They said to him,“ Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Therefore, appoint a king to judge us the same as all the other nations have.”When they said,“ Give us a king to judge us,” Samuel considered their demand wrong, so he prayed to the LORD.But the LORD told him,“ Listen to the people and everything they say to you. They have not rejected you; they have rejected me as their king.They are doing the same thing to you that they have done to me, since the day I brought them out of Egypt until this day, abandoning me and worshiping other gods.Listen to them, but solemnly warn them and tell them about the customary rights of the king who will reign over them.”

But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was coming against you, you said to me,‘ No, we must have a king reign over us’— even though the LORD your God is your king.“ Now here is the king you’ve chosen, the one you requested. Look, this is the king the LORD has placed over you.If you fear the LORD, worship and obey him, and if you don’t rebel against the LORD’s command, then both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God.However, if you disobey the LORD and rebel against his command, the LORD’s hand will be against you as it was against your ancestors.“ Now, therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing that the LORD will do before your eyes.Isn’t the wheat harvest today? I will call on the LORD, and he will send thunder and rain so that you will recognize what an immense evil you committed in the LORD’s sight by requesting a king for yourselves.”Samuel called on the LORD, and on that day the LORD sent thunder and rain. As a result, all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.They pleaded with Samuel,“ Pray to the LORD your God for your servants so we won’t die! For we have added to all our sins the evil of requesting a king for ourselves.”

Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth and said,“ Return to Balak and say what I tell you.”

The LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth. Then he said,“ Return to Balak and say what I tell you.”

Then the word of the LORD came to me:“ Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and have put their sinful stumbling blocks in front of themselves. Should I actually let them inquire of me?“ Therefore, speak to them and tell them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: When anyone from the house of Israel sets up idols in his heart and puts his sinful stumbling block in front of himself, and then comes to the prophet, I, the LORD, will answer him appropriately. I will answer him according to his many idols,so that I may take hold of the house of Israel by their hearts. They are all estranged from me because of their idols.’
