Thematic Bible



And he brought him into a plain field where men might see far, even to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered an ox and a ram on every altar. And he said unto Balak, "Stand here, by thy sacrifice, while I go yonder." And the LORD met Balaam and put words in his mouth, and said, "Go again unto Balak and thus say." read more.
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his sacrifice: and the lords of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, "What sayeth the LORD?" And he took up his parable and said, "Rise up, Balak, and hear! And hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor! The Lord God is not a man, that he can lie; neither the son of a man, that he can repent! Should he say, and not do? Or should he speak, and not make it good? Behold: I have begun to bless, and have blessed; and cannot go back therefrom. He beheld no wickedness in Jacob, nor saw Idolatry in Israel: The LORD his God is with him, and the tromp of a king among them. God, that brought them out of Egypt, is as the strength of an unicorn unto them! For there is no sorcerer in Jacob, nor soothsayer in Israel. When the time cometh, it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, 'What God hath wrought!' Behold, the people shall rise up as a lioness and heave up himself as a lion; and shall not lie down again, until he have eaten of the prey and drunk of the blood of them that are slain!"
