Numbers 24:2-9

2And BalaamH1109 liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and he sawH7200 IsraelH3478 dwellingH7931 accordingH5921 to their tribesH7626; and the spiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 uponH5921 him.

3And he tookH5375 upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 saith, And the manH1397 whoseH1121 eyeH5869 was closed saith:

4He saith, whichH834 heareth the wordsH561 of GodH410, WhichH834 seeth the visionH4236 of the AlmightyH7706, FallingH5307 downH5307, and having his eyesH5869 openH1540:

5HowH4100 goodly are thy tentsH168, O JacobH3290, Thy tabernacles, O IsraelH3478!

6As valleysH5158 are they spreadH5186 forth, As gardensH1593 by the riverH5104 side, As lign-aloes whichH4325 the LORDH3068 hath plantedH5193, As cedarH730 trees besideH5921 the watersH4325.

7WaterH4325 shall flowH5140 from his bucketsH1805, And his seedH2233 shall be in manyH7227 watersH4325, And his kingH4428 shall be higherH7311 thanH4428 AgagH90, And his kingdomH4438 shall be exaltedH7311.

8GodH410 bringeth him forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714; He hath as it were the strengthH6106 of the wild-ox: He shall eatH398 upH398 the nationsH1471 his adversaries, And shall break their bonesH6106 in pieces, And smite them throughH4272 with his arrowsH2671.

9He couched, he layH7901 downH7901 as a lionH738, And as a lionessH3833; who shall rouseH6965 him upH6965? BlessedH1288 be every one that blesseth thee, And cursedH779 be every one that curseth thee.
