Numbers 23:18-24

18And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

19God is not a man, that he should lie; Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

20Behold, I have received commandment to bless: And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: The LORD his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them.

22God bringeth them forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox.

23Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob, Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now shall it be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

24Behold, the people riseth up as a lioness, And as a lion doth he lift himself up: He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain.
