Numbers 24:5-9
5How pleasant are your tents, Jacob, Your dwelling places, Israel!6Like 1valleys that stretch out, Like gardens beside a 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, And smash them with his 8arrows.99He 10crouches, he lies down like a lion, And like a lioness, who 11dares to rouse him? 12Blessed is everyone who blesses you, And cursed is everyone who curses you.”
