Al gaf Balak mij zijn huis vol zilver en goud, ik kan niets doen in strijd met den last van den Heer: niets, goed noch kwaad, uit mijn eigen hart. Wat de Heer spreken zal, dat zal ik spreken.
Wanneer mij Balak zijn huis vol zilver en goud gave, zo kan ik het bevel des HEEREN niet overtreden, doende goed of kwaad uit mijn eigen hart; wat de HEERE spreken zal, dat zal ik spreken.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold,.... Which are the very words he said to the princes of Moab, Numbers 22:18,
I cannot go beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do either good or bad; for though here it is the "commandment", and there the "word" of the Lord, yet it is the same word in both places in the original text: indeed, here he omits the relation to the Lord he there claims, saying "my God"; and instead of "little or great", here it is "good or bad", but the sense is the same: and he adds, for explanation sake,
of mine own mind: or out of my heart, which was disposed well enough to serve Balak, but was laid under a restraint by the Lord:
but what the Lord said, that will I speak; and he had not only said this to the messengers, but to the king himself, and therefore he thought, that as he had openly and honestly told him this at first, he had no reason to be so angry with him; see Numbers 22:38.
