SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:15
Entonces él dijo a Balac: Ponte aquí junto a tu holocausto, y yo iré a encontrar a Dios allí.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And he said unto Balak, stand here by thy burnt offering , etc.] As he had before directed him, ( Numbers 23:3) while I meet the Lord yonder ; pointing to some place at a little distance, where he expected to meet the Lord, and have some instructions from him, which he seemed confident of, having met with him once already.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-30 - Balak was angry with Balaam. Thus a confession of God's overrulin power is extorted from a wicked prophet, to the confusion of a wicke prince. A second time the curse is turned into a blessing; and thi blessing is both larger and stronger than the former. Men change their minds, and break their words; but God never changes his mind, an therefore never recalls his promise. And when in Scripture he is sai to repent, it does not mean any change of his mind; but only a chang of his way. There was sin in Jacob, and God saw it; but there was no such as might provoke him to give them up to ruin. If the Lord see that we trust in his mercy, and accept of his salvation; that we indulge no secret lust, and continue not in rebellion, but endeavour to serve and glorify him; we may be sure that he looks upon us as accepte in Christ, that our sins are all pardoned. Oh the wonders of providenc and grace, the wonders of redeeming love, of pardoning mercy, of the new-creating Spirit! Balak had no hope of ruining Israel, and Balaa showed that he had more reason to fear being ruined by them. Sinc Balaam cannot say what he would have him, Balak wished him to saw nothing. But though there are many devices in man's heart, God' counsels shall stand. Yet they resolve to make another attempt, thoug they had no promise on which to build their hopes. Let us, who have promise that the vision at the end shall speak and not lie, continu earnest in prayer, Lu 18:1 __________________________________________________________________
