Numbers 24:2-9

2looked up, and saw Israel’s camp grouped by tribes. The Spirit of God entered him,

3and he delivered this message: “This is the message of Balaam, son of Beor. This is the message of the man whose eyesight is clear.

4This is the message of the one who hears God’s words, has a vision from the Almighty, and falls ⌞into a trance⌟ with his eyes open:

5How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, and the places where you live, Israel.

6Your tents spread out like rivers, like gardens by a river, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars by the water.

7Water will flow from their buckets, and their crops will have plenty of water. Their king will be greater than Agag, and their kingdom will be considered the best.

8The God who brought them out of Egypt has the strength of a wild bull. He will devour nations that are his enemies, crush their bones, and pierce them with arrows.

9His people lie down ⌞and⌟ rest like a lion. They are like a lioness. Who dares to disturb them? Those who bless you will be blessed! Those who curse you will be cursed!”
