³⁷ Balak said to Balaam, Didn't I earnestly send to you to call you? why didn't you come to me? am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?

¹¹ Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you back from honor.

¹⁶ They came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me:

¹⁷ for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.

⁶ For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

⁸ Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

⁹ He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."

⁶ The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

⁴⁴ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?
