Numbers 23:11-24

11Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? 1I took you to put a curse on my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them!” 12He replied, “Must I not be careful to speak 2what the Lord puts in my mouth?”

13Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place from where you may see them, although you will only see the extreme end of them and will not see all of them; and put a curse on them for me from there.” 14So he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 15Then he said to Balak, “Stand here beside your burnt offering while I myself meet the Lord over there.” 16Then the Lord met Balaam and 3put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and this is what you shall speak.” 17So he came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the Lord spoken?” 18Then he took up his discourse and said, “Arise, Balak, and hear; Listen to me, son of Zippor!194God is not a man, that He would lie, Nor a son of man, that He would change His mind; 5Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?20Behold, I have received a command to bless; 6When He has blessed, 7I cannot revoke it.218He has not looked at misfortune in Jacob; 9Nor has He seen trouble in Israel; 10The Lord his God is with him, 11And the joyful shout of a king is among them.2212God brings them out of Egypt, He is for them like the 13horns of the wild ox.2314For there is no magic curse against Jacob, Nor is there any divination against Israel; At the proper time it shall be said to Jacob And to Israel, what God has done!2415Behold, a people rises like a lioness, And like a lion it raises itself; It will not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of those slain.”
