Numbers 23:18-24

18Balaam proclaimed his poem: Balak, get up and listen; son of Zippor, pay attention to what I say!

19God is not a man, that he might lie, or a son of man, that he might change his mind. Does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?

20I have indeed received a command to bless; since he has blessed, I cannot change it.

21He considers no disaster for Jacob; he sees no trouble for Israel. The Lord their God is with them, and there is rejoicing over the King among them.

22God brought them out of Egypt; he is like the horns of a wild ox for them.

23There is no magic curse against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said about Jacob and Israel, “What great things God has done!”

24A people rise up like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion. They will not lie down until they devour the prey and drink the blood of the slain.
