Numbers 23:13-26 - Balaam's Second Oracle
13 And Balak said to him, Please come with me to another place from where you may see them. You shall see only their edge, and shall not see them all. And curse them from there for me. 14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on every altar.
15 And he said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt offering while I meet Him yonder.
16 And Jehovah met Balaam and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again to Balak and say this.
17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
18 And he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear. Listen to me, son of Zippor. 19 God is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received word to bless. And He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. 21 He has not seen iniquity in Jacob, neither has He seen perverseness in Israel. Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king among them. 22 God brought them out of Egypt. He has, as it were, the strength of an ox. 23 Surely, there is no spell against Jacob, nor any fortune-telling against Israel. According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What God has worked! 24 Behold, the people shall rise up like a great lion, and lift up himself like a young lion. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.
25 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all.
26 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell you, saying, All that Jehovah speaks, that I must do?
