³⁵ The angel of Yahweh said to Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

²⁰ God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men are come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that shall you do.

²¹ Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.

¹² So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, That they might walk in their own counsels.

²⁶ Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that it should be your to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.

²⁷ Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field [of grain] before it is grown up.

²⁸ But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against me.

²⁹ Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.

⁹ even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

¹⁰ and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹¹ Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

¹² that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
