“ Well, I have come to you now,” Balaam replied.“ But I can’t say whatever I please. I must speak only what God puts in my mouth.”

“ Well, I’ve come to you now,” Balaam replied.“ But I can’t say whatever I please. I can only speak the words God puts in my mouth.”

Balaam said to Balak,“ Behold, I have come to you! Have I now any power of my own to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that must I speak.”

Balaam replied,“ Look, now I have come, but I have no power to say whatever I want. I will speak only the message that God puts in my mouth.”

Balaam said to him,“ Look, I have come to you, but can I say anything I want? I must speak only the message God puts in my mouth.”

So Balaam said to Balak,“ Behold, I have come to you now! Am I really able to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that only shall I speak.”

And Balaam said to Balak,“ Look, I have come to you! Now, have I any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I must speak.”

And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to speak anything? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

Balaam said to him,“ Look, I have come to you, but can I say anything I want? I must speak only the message God puts in my mouth.”

And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

Balaam said to Balak,“ Look, I have come to you. Now, am I able to speak just anything? I must speak only the word that God puts in my mouth.”

Balaam said to Balak,“ Behold, I have come to you. Have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.”

But Balaam answered them,“ Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything great or small to go beyond the command of the Lord my God. (niv)

The Lord met with Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said,“ Go back to Balak and give him this word.” (niv)

Balaam answered,“ Did I not tell you I must do whatever the Lord says?” (niv)

But Micaiah said,“ As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what my God says.” (niv)

I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say,‘ My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ (niv)

The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. (niv)

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. (niv)

But Micaiah said,“ As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what the Lord tells me.” (niv)

who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense, (niv)

Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise, and the survivors of your wrath are restrained. (niv)

‘ Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the Lord— and I must say only what the Lord says’? (niv)

“ Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror. (niv)
