SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:11
Huye, por tanto, ahora a tu lugar; yo dije que te honraría, mas he aquí que el SEŅOR te ha privado de honra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 24:11
Verse 11. Lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour.] A bitter and impious sarcasm. "Hadst thou cursed this people, I would have promoted thee to great honour; but thou hast chosen to follow the directions of Jehovah rather than mine, and what will he do for thee?"
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. Therefore now flee thou to thy place , etc.] His own country, from whence Balak had sent for him, and he came; begone directly, make all haste away; he speaks as one so provoked, that he could not bear him in his presence, and as threatening him if he did not at once get out of his sight: I thought to promote thee unto great honour ; to bestow much wealth and riches upon him, and to prefer him in his court to high offices of honour and dignity; he had promised that he would, and he thought as he said, he was determined upon it, had he performed as he expected: but, lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour ; the Lord thou hast so much talked of, and at whose beck and command thou hast been, and by whom thou hast been checked and controlled, he has hindered thee from riches and honour; see what thou hast got, or rather lost, by hearkening to him, and how he will pay thee for it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-14 - This vain attempt to curse Israel is ended. Balak broke out into a rag against Balaam, and expressed great vexation. Balaam has a very ful excuse; God restrained him from saying what he would have said, an constrained him to say what he would not have uttered.
