New American Standard Bible 1995
Numbers 24:5-9
5How fair are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwellings, O Israel!6Like 1valleys that stretch out, Like gardens beside the river, Like 2aloes planted by the Lord, Like 3cedars beside the waters.7Water will flow from his buckets, And his seed will be by many waters, And his king shall be higher than 4Agag, 5And his kingdom shall be exalted.86God brings him out of Egypt, He is for him like the horns of the wild ox. 7He will devour the nations who are his adversaries, And will crush their bones in pieces, And shatter them with his 8arrows.99He 10couches, he lies down as a lion, And as a 11lion, who 12dares rouse him? 13Blessed is everyone who blesses you, And cursed is everyone who curses you.”
