אִם־יִתֶּן־לִ֨י בָלָ֜ק מְלֹ֣א בֵיתוֹ֮ כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָב֒ לֹ֣א אוּכַ֗ל לַעֲבֹר֙ אֶת־פִּ֣י יְהוָ֔ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת טוֹבָ֛ה א֥וֹ רָעָ֖ה מִלִּבִּ֑י אֲשֶׁר־יְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֹת֥וֹ אֲדַבֵּֽר׃
‘Sekalipun Balak memberikan kepadaku perak dan emas sepenuh rumahnya, aku tidak dapat melanggar firman Yang Mahakekal dengan berbuat baik atau jahat menurut kehendakku sendiri; apa yang difirmankan Yang Mahakekal, itulah yang akan kukatakan.’
Zohar
Observe this. All men are in the power of the Holy King, and all have their allotted time in this world; but for this one there is no appointed time, and therefore it mocks at the evil spirits and gloats over them.
