Balak... the terrorized terrorist

Who says there's no humor in the Bible?
Even though this one is rather subtle, it's there. And how fitting as today it is halloween. I know I think I want to dress up as Balak... the terrorized terrorist from Moab. Almost sounds like a scene from Veggie tales.
I was reading Numbers 24 the other day and I got to verse 14 and it struck me very funny:

14. Şi acum iată că mă duc la poporul meu. Vino, şi-ţi voi vesti ce
va face poporul acesta poporului tău în vremile cari vor urma." (VDC)

14.Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what
this people will do to your people in days to come." (NIV)

Here's the background: Balaak is upset (my wife told me not to use the p word anymore... you know, the one that describes doing #1). He's upset because inspite of asking Balaam repeatedly and promising him all kinds of rewards, Balaam keeps blessing the people of Israel instead of cursing them as he is told. Now Balak tells him basically: See, you've forfeited all the nice stuff I was going to give you because you can't seem to follow simple directions.
Balaam replies: Even if you gave me your whole house full of gold and silver, I still couldn't do anything to hurt these people (or to help them). Basically he's saying that God put an invisible Teflon bowl over the people of Israel... neither blessings nor curses can stick to them. Only what God says sticks.
So now Balaam says as if he's inviting Balak to a fun movie: oh by the way, I'm going to go home now, but come here and let me tell you about how these people are going to anihilate your people sometime soon.
I can just imagine the horrified look on Balak's face. NOOOOO!
