Joshua 24:10

Jos 24:10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

Ver. 10. Therefore he blessed you still ] Though full sore against his mind, as loath to lose so fair a preferment; till at length he resolved to curse, whatever came of it, and therefore went not, as at other times, to his altar, but "set his face toward the wilderness." Num 24:1-2 "Howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing," said that good Nehemiah. Neh 13:2
