Numbers 23:13-26 - Balaam's Second Oracle
13 "Come with me to another place where you can see them," Balak replied. "You'll only see a portion of them, because you won't be able to see them completely. Come and curse them from there for me." 14 So Balak took him to the field of Zophim, and from there to the top of Mount Pisgah, where he built seven altars and then offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
15 Then he told Balak, "Stand by your offering while I go alone to meet the LORD."
16 Then the LORD met with Balaam and gave a message to him. "Now go back to Balak and speak to him."
17 So Balaam returned to where Balak had been standing, that is, next to his offerings, accompanied by the Moabite officials. "What did the LORD say?" Balak asked him.
18 In response, Balaam uttered this prophetic statement: "Stand up, Balak, and pay attention! Listen to me, you son of Zippor! 19 God is not a human male he doesn't lie, nor is he a human being he never vacillates. Once he speaks up, he's going to act, isn't he? Once he makes a promise, he'll fulfill it, won't he? 20 Look! I've received a blessing, and so I will bless. I won't withdraw it. 21 He has not responded to iniquity in Jacob or gazed at mischief in Israel. The LORD his God is with them, and the triumphant cry of a king is among them. 22 From Egypt God brought them his strength was like a wild ox! 23 No Satanic plan against Jacob nor divination against Israel can ever prevail. When the time is right, it is to be asked about Jacob and Israel, "What has God accomplished?' 24 Look! The people are like lions. Like the lion, he rises up! He does not lie down again until he has consumed his prey and drunk the blood of the slain."
25 Then Balak told Balaam, "Don't curse them or bless them!"
26 "Didn't I tell you," Balaam responded to Balak, "that I'll say whatever the LORD tells me to say?"
