Numbers 24:4-16

4He saith, who heareth the wordsH561 of 1GodH410, who seeth the visionH4236 of the AlmightyH7706, who falleth downH5307, and who hath his eyesH5869 open:

5HowH4100 goodly are thy tentsH168, JacobH3290, and thy tabernacles, IsraelH3478!

6Like valleys are they spreadH5186 forth, like gardensH1593 by the riverH5104 side, Like aloe-trees which Jehovah hath plantedH5193, like cedarsH730 beside the watersH4325.

7WaterH4325 shall flowH5140 out of his buckets, and his seedH2233 shall be in greatH7227 watersH4325, And his kingH4428 shall be higherH7311 than AgagH90, and his kingdomH4438 shall be exaltedH7311.

82GodH410 broughtH3318 him out of EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. He shall consumeH398 the nationsH1471 his enemies, and break their bonesH6106, and with his arrowsH2671 shall smite [them] in pieces.

9He stooped, he layH7901 downH7901 like a lionH738, and like a lionessH3833: who will stir him up? BlessedH1288 is he that blesseth thee, and cursedH779 is he that curseth thee.

10Then Balak's angerH639 was kindled against BalaamH1109, and he smote his handsH3709 together; and BalakH1111 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, I calledH7121 thee to curseH6895 mine enemiesH341, and behold, thou hast altogether blessedH1288 [them] these threeH7969 timesH6471!

11And nowH6258 fleeH1272 thou to thy placeH4725; I saidH559 I would very highly honour thee, and behold, Jehovah has kept thee back from honour.

12And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to BalakH1111, Did I not alsoH1571 speakH1696 to thy messengersH4397 whom thou sentest to me, sayingH559,

13If BalakH1111 gaveH5414 me his houseH1004 full of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do goodH2896 or badH7451 out of my heartH3820: what Jehovah shall sayH1696, that will I speakH1696?

14And nowH6258 behold, I goH1980 to my peopleH5971: comeH1980, I will admonish thee what this peopleH5971 will do to thy peopleH5971 at the endH319 of daysH3117.

15And he tookH5375 up his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 saith, and the manH1397 of opened eyeH5869 saith,

16He saith, who heareth the wordsH561 of 3GodH410, who knoweth the knowledgeH1847 of the Most High, Who seeth the visionH4236 of the AlmightyH7706, who falleth downH5307, and who hath his eyesH5869 open:
