Numbers 24:2-9

2When Balaam lifted up his eyes, he saw Israel camped tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

3Then he uttered this oracle: “The oracle of Balaam son of Beor; the oracle of the man whose eyes are open;

4the oracle of the one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, although falling flat on the ground with eyes open:

5‘How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, and your dwelling places, O Israel!

6They are like valleys stretched forth, like gardens by the river’s side, like aloes that the Lord has planted, and like cedar trees beside the waters.

7He will pour the water out of his buckets, and their descendants will be like abundant water; their king will be greater than Agag, and their kingdom will be exalted.

8God brought them out of Egypt. They have, as it were, the strength of a young bull; they will devour hostile people and will break their bones and will pierce them through with arrows.

9They crouch and lie down like a lion, and as a lioness, who can stir him? Blessed is the one who blesses you, and cursed is the one who curses you!’”
