Numbers 23:14-24

14And he tookH3947 him into the fieldH7704 of Zophim, to the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, and builtH1129 sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and offeredH5927 up a bullock and a ramH352 on every altarH4196. 15And he saidH559 unto BalakH1111, StandH3320 here by thy burnt-offering, while I meetH7136 Jehovah yonder. 16And Jehovah metH7136 BalaamH1109, and putH7760 a wordH1697 in his mouthH6310, and saidH559, ReturnH7725 unto BalakH1111, and thusH3541 shalt thou speakH1696. 17And he cameH935 to him, and, lo, he was standingH5324 by his burnt-offering, and the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 with him. And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto him, What hath Jehovah spokenH1696? 18And he tookH5375 up his parableH4912, and saidH559,

RiseH6965 up, BalakH1111, and hearH8085;Hearken unto me, thou sonH1121 of ZipporH6834:19GodH410 is not a manH376, that he should lieH3576,Neither the sonH1121 of manH376, that he should repentH5162:Hath he saidH559, and will he not do it?Or hath he spokenH1696, and will he not makeH6213 it good?20Behold, I have receivedH3947commandmentto blessH1288:And he hath blessedH1288, and I cannot reverse it.21He hath not beheld iniquity in JacobH3290;Neither hath he seenH7200 perverseness in IsraelH3478:Jehovah his GodH430 is with him,And the shoutH8643 of a kingH4428 is among them.22GodH410 bringeth them forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714;He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox.23Surely there is no enchantment with JacobH3290;Neither is there any divinationH7081 with IsraelH3478:Now shall it be saidH559 of JacobH3290 and of IsraelH3478,What hath GodH410 wrought!24Behold, the peopleH5971 riseth up as a lionessH3833,And as a lionH738 doth he liftH5375 himself up:He shall not lieH7901 down until he eatH398 of the preyH2964,And drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491.
