Commentary on Numbers 23:12
Balaam responds 'Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?' This acknowledges prophetic obligation to speak God's words regardless of personal cost or preference. True prophets cannot tailor messages to audience expectations or financial incentives. Yet Balaam's later actions proved he sought loopholes when direct cursing was forbidden.
