Numbers 23:24

Balaam Prophesies Again

²³ “For there is no omen against Jacob,
Nor is there any divination against Israel;
At the proper time it shall be said to Jacob
And to Israel, what God has done!
²⁴ “Behold, a people rises like a lioness,
And as a lion it lifts itself;
It will not lie down until it devours the prey,
And drinks the blood of the slain.” ²⁵ Then Balak said to Balaam, “Do not curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
