Numbers 24:2-9
2And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe. And the Spirit of God came upon him,
3and he took up his discourse and said, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened,
4the oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered:
5How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, your encampments, O Israel!
6Like palm groves that stretch afar, like gardens beside a river, like aloes that the Lord has planted, like cedar trees beside the waters.
7Water shall flow from his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters; his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8God brings him out of Egypt and is for him like the horns of the wild ox; he shall eat up the nations, his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces and pierce them through with his arrows.
9He crouched, he lay down like a lion and like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed are those who bless you, and cursed are those who curse you."
