Numbers 23:14-24

14So he took him to the Field of Zophim  on top of Mount Pisgah, where he built seven altars. He offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

15Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet with God over there.”

16The Lord came to Balaam and told him, “Go back to Balak, and give him my message.”

17He came to Balak and found him standing beside his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. Balak asked him, “What did the Lord say?”

18Then Balaam delivered this message: “Stand up, Balak, and listen! Hear me, son of Zippor!

19God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn’t change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it.

20I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t change it.

21He doesn’t want any trouble for the descendants of Jacob. He sees no misfortune for the people of Israel. The Lord their God is with them, praised as their king.

22The God who brought them out of Egypt has the strength of a wild bull.

23No spell can curse the descendants of Jacob. No magic can harm the people of Israel. Now it will be said of Jacob and Israel: ‘See what God has done!’

24Here is a nation that attacks like a lioness and is as ferocious as a lion. It doesn’t lie down until it eats its prey and drinks the blood of its victim.”
