And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.

Numbers 22:12 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Thou shalt not. Balaam knew his duty (see on v. 8). He was greedy for gifts, but also knew his curses could not harm Israel.

They are blessed. No human being could reverse the blessing of God and turn it into a curse.
