Numbers 24:7-20

7He shall pourH5140 the waterH4325 outH5140 of his bucketsH1805, and his seedH2233 shall be in manyH7227 watersH4325, and his kingH4428 shall be higherH7311 than AgagH90, and his kingdomH4438 shall be exaltedH5375. 8GodH410 brought him forthH3318 from EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicornH7214: he shall eat upH398 the nationsH1471 his enemiesH6862, and shall breakH1633 their bonesH6106, and pierceH4272 them through with his arrowsH2671. 9He crouchedH3766, he lay downH7901 as a lionH738, and as a great lionH3833: who shall rouse himH6965? BlessedH1288 is he that blessethH1288 thee, and cursedH779 is he that cursethH779 thee.

10And Balak’sH1111 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against BalaamH1109, and he smoteH5606 his handsH3709 togetherH5606: and BalakH1111 saidH559 to BalaamH1109, I calledH7121 thee to curseH6895 my enemiesH341, and, behold, thou hast altogetherH1288 blessedH1288 them these threeH7969 timesH6471. 11Therefore now fleeH1272 thou to thy placeH4725: I thoughtH559 to promoteH3513 thee to greatH3513 honourH3513; but, lo, the LORDH3068 hath kept thee backH4513 from honourH3519. 12And BalaamH1109 saidH559 to BalakH1111, Did I not speakH1696 also to thy messengersH4397 whom thou sentestH7971 to me, sayingH559, 13If BalakH1111 would giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I could notH3201 go beyondH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 either goodH2896 or badH7451 of my own mindH3820; but what the LORDH3068 saithH1696, that will I speakH1696? 14And now, behold, I goH1980 to my peopleH5971: comeH3212 therefore, I will adviseH3289 thee what this peopleH5971 shall doH6213 to thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 daysH3117.

15And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 hath saidH5002, and the manH1397 whose eyesH5869 are openH8365 hath saidH5002: 16He hath saidH5002, who heardH8085 the wordsH561 of GodH410, and knewH3045 the knowledgeH1847 of the most HighH5945, who sawH2372 the visionH4236 of the AlmightyH7706, fallingH5307 into a trance, but having his eyesH5869 openH1540: 17I shall seeH7200 him, but not now: I shall beholdH7789 him, but not nearH7138: there shall comeH1869 a StarH3556 out of JacobH3290, and a SceptreH7626 shall riseH6965 out of IsraelH3478, and shall smiteH4272 the cornersH6285 of MoabH4124, and destroyH6979 all the childrenH1121 of ShethH8352H8351.1 18And EdomH123 shall be a possessionH3424, SeirH8165 also shall be a possessionH3424 for his enemiesH341; and IsraelH3478 shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428. 19Out of JacobH3290 shall come he that shall have dominionH7287, and shall destroyH6 him that remainethH8300 of the cityH5892. 20And when he lookedH7200 on AmalekH6002, he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, AmalekH6002 was the firstH7225 of the nationsH1471; but his latterH319 end shall be that he shall perishH8 for everH5703.23
