Numbers 23:13-26 - Balaam's Second Oracle
13 Then said Balak unto him - Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see him, nothing but his utmost part, shalt thou see, but all of him, shalt thou not see, - and so revile me him from thence. 14 And he took him to the field of Zophim, unto the head of Pisgah, - and built seven altars, and caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
15 Then said he to Balak, Station thyself here by thine ascending-sacrifice, - while, I, meet him yonder.
16 And Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, - and said - Return unto Balak and thus shalt thou speak.
17 So he came in unto him and, there he was-stationed by his ascending-sacrifice, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath Yahweh spoken?
18 Then took he up his parable and said, - Rise, Balak, and hear, Give ear unto me son of Zippor! 19 GOD is, not a man, that he should lie, Nor a son of Adam, that he should repent, - Hath, he, said, and will not perform? Yea spoken, and will not make it stand fast? 20 Lo! to bless, have I received command , - And I will bless, nor will I take it back. 21 He hath not discovered trouble in Jacob, Neither hath he seen wretchedness in Israel, - Yahweh, his God, is with him, And, the acclaim of a king, in his midst: 22 GOD having brought them forth out of Egypt, The very horns of the buffalo, are his: 23 Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, - Now, shall it be said - Of Jacob and of Israel, What hath GOD wrought! 24 Lo, a people, like a lioness, shall rise, And like a strong lion, shall rouse himself up; He will not lie down till be eat the torn, And the blood of the slain, he drink.
25 Then said Balak unto Balaam, Thou shalt neither revile, him, - nor bless him.
26 And Balaam responded, and said unto Balak, - Spake I not unto thee, saying, All that Yahweh shall speak, that, must I do?
