Commentary on Numbers 22:18

Balaam responds to Balak's messengers: 'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.' This statement appears noble—claiming inability to violate God's word regardless of payment. Yet Balaam's heart proved divided, ultimately finding a way to harm Israel (31:16), showing how apparent submission to God's word can mask underlying greed (2 Peter 2:15-16, Jude 11).
