Ya, this dude Balak just doesn't get it. He seems like he wants to just keep "rolling the dice", hoping that one of these times, this "God of Jacob" will change His mind. He clearly doesn't understand the word and will of God in the least. He thinks he's at a casino playing the slots. In reality he is trifling with the God of the universe who is angry with him and his people for their sins, and who has reserved the land they are currently on for another people.
As for Balaam, what he is doing is not wise or good. He is a willing participant in the games king Balak is playing. His heart is not fully right before the Lord it seems. That's not to say that my heart is pure. I know there is much double-mindedness to be rooted out of my heart and there is great change that still needs to occur so that I may fully give my heart to the Lord.
Numbers 23.
