³⁷ And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not send to you, requesting you with all my heart to come to me? why did you not come? am I not able to give you a place of honour?

¹¹ Go back quickly to the place you came from: it was my purpose to give you a place of honour, but now the Lord has kept you back from honour.

¹⁶ And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me:

¹⁷ For I will give you a place of very great honour, and whatever you say to me I will do; so come, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people.

⁶ For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;

⁸ Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

⁹ And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.

⁶ And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.

⁴⁴ How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?
