Numbers 23:18 - 23:24

« Num 22 | Num 23 | Num 24 »

18 Then he took up his discourse and said,

“Arise, O Balak, and hear;

Give ear to me, O son of Zippor!

19

God is not a man, that He should lie,

Nor a son of man, that He should repent;

Has He said, and will He not do it?

Or has He spoken, and will He not establish it?

20

Behold, I have received a command to bless;

When He has blessed, then I cannot revoke it.

21

He has not observed misfortune in Jacob;

Nor has He seen trouble in Israel;

Yahweh his God is with him,

And the shout of a king is among them.

22

God brings them out of Egypt,

He is for them like the horns of the wild ox.

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.”
