But please spend the night, as the others did, so that I may learn whether or not the LORD has something else to tell me."

That night God came to Balaam and said, "If these men have come to ask you to go with them, get ready and go, but do only what I tell you."

and the LORD said, "Now hear what I have to say! When there are prophets among you, I reveal myself to them in visions and speak to them in dreams.

He answered, "I can say only what the LORD tells me to say."

You plant them, and they take root; they grow and bear fruit. They always speak well of you, yet they do not really care about you.

So my people crowd in to hear what you have to say, but they don't do what you tell them to do. Loving words are on their lips, but they continue their greedy ways.
