Numbers 24:9-11

91He 2couches, he lies down as a lion, And as a 3lion, who 4dares rouse him? 5Blessed is everyone who blesses you, And cursed is everyone who curses you.”

10Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his 6hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times! 11Therefore, 7flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the Lord has held you back from honor.”
