Numbers 24:4-16

4the prophecyH5002 of one who hearsH8085 the wordsH561 of GodH410, whoH834 seesH2372 a visionH4236 from the AlmightyH7706,1 who bows downH5307 with eyesH5869 wide openH1540:5HowH4100 lovely areH2895 your tentsH168, O JacobH3290, your dwellingsH4908, O IsraelH3478!6They spread outH5186 like palm grovesH5158,2 like gardensH1593 besideH5921 a streamH5104, like aloesH174 the LORDH3068 has plantedH5193, like cedarsH730 besideH5921 the watersH4325.7WaterH4325 will flowH5140 from his bucketsH1805, and his seedH2233 will have abundantH7227 waterH4325. His kingH4428 will be greaterH7311 than AgagH90, and his kingdomH4438 will be exaltedH5375.8GodH410 brought himH3318 out of EgyptH4714 with strengthH8443 like a wild oxH7214, to devourH398 hostileH6862 nationsH1471 and crushH1633 their bonesH6106, to pierce themH4272 with arrowsH2671.9He crouchesH3766, he lies downH7901 like a lionH738, like a lionessH3833—whoH4310 dares to rouse himH6965? Blessed areH1288 those who bless youH1288 and cursed areH779 those who curse youH779.”

10Then Balak’sH1111 angerH639 burnedH2734 againstH413 BalaamH1109, and he struck his handsH3709 togetherH5606 and saidH559H1111 toH413 BalaamH1109, “I summoned youH7121 to curseH6895 my enemiesH341, but beholdH2009, you have persisted in blessingH1288 them theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH6471. 11Therefore, fleeH1272 at onceH6258 toH413 your homeH4725! I saidH559 I would reward you richlyH3513, but insteadH2009 the LORDH3068 has deniedH4513 your rewardH3519.”

12BalaamH1109H413 answeredH559 BalakH1111, “Did I notH3808 alreadyH1571H413 tellH1696H559 the messengersH4397 you sent meH7971H413 13that even ifH518 BalakH1111 were to giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I couldH3201 notH3808 doH6213 anything of my own accordH3820, goodH2896 orH176 badH7451, to go beyondH5674 the commandH6310 of the LORDH3068? I must speakH1696 whateverH834 the LORDH3068 saysH1696. 14NowH6258H2005 I am going backH1980 to my peopleH5971, but comeH1980, let me warn youH3289 whatH834 thisH2088 peopleH5971 will doH6213 to your peopleH5971 in the daysH3117 to comeH319.”

15Then Balaam lifted upH5375 an oracleH4912, sayingH559,
