"But Balaam answered Balak, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'All that the Lord speaks, that I must do?'""
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, told not I thee,.... He appeals to him for his honesty and faithfulness, for honest and faithful he would be thought to be,
both to God and man; that when he first met him, he plainly told him what he must expect: from him: saying, all that the Lord speaketh, that I must do; which was very true, he was obliged to do as he had bid him, and speak what he had said unto him, though it was sore against his will; he would fain both have spoken and done otherwise, if he might have been permitted.
