Numbers 23:14-24
14And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar. 15And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I meet Jehovah yonder. 16And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak. 17And he came to him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath Jehovah spoken? 18And he took up his parable, and said,
Rise up, Balak, and hear;Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:19God is not a man, that he should lie,Neither the son of man, that he should repent:Hath he said, and will he not do it?Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?20Behold, I have receivedcommandmentto bless:And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob;Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel:Jehovah his God is with him,And the shout of a king is among them.22God bringeth them forth out of Egypt;He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox.23Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob;Neither is there any divination with Israel:Now shall it be said of Jacob and of Israel,What hath God wrought!24Behold, the people riseth up as a lioness,And as a lion doth he lift himself up:He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey,And drink the blood of the slain.
