1
When Balaam
saw
that it pleased
the LORD
to bless
Israel,
he did not go
as at other
times
to seek
omens
but he set
his face
toward
the wilderness.
2
And Balaam
lifted
up his eyes
and saw
Israel
camping
tribe by tribe;
and the Spirit
of God
came
upon him.
3
He took
up his discourse
and said,
"The oracle
of Balaam
the son
of Beor,
And the oracle
of the man
whose eye
is opened;
4
The oracle
of him who hears
the words
of God,
Who
sees
the vision
of the Almighty,
Falling down,
yet having his eyes
uncovered,
5
How
fair
are your tents,
O Jacob,
Your dwellings,
O Israel!
6
"Like valleys
that stretch
out, Like gardens
beside
the river,
Like aloes
planted
by the LORD,
Like cedars
beside
the waters.
7
"Water
will flow
from his buckets,
And his seed
will be by many
waters,
And his king
shall be higher
than
Agag,
And his king
dom
shall be exalted.
8
"God
brings
him out of Egypt,
He is for him like the horns
of the wild ox.
He will devour
the nations
who are his adversaries,
And will crush
their bones
in pieces, And shatter
them with his arrows.
9
"He crouches,
he lies down
as a lion,
And
as a lion,
who
dares rouse
him? Blessed
is everyone
who
blesses
you, And cursed
is everyone
who
curses
you."
10
Then Balak's
anger
burned
against
Balaam,
and he struck
his hands
together;
and Balak
said
to
Balaam,
"I called
you to curse
my enemies,
but behold,
you have persisted
in blessing
them these
three
times!
11
"Therefore, flee
to your place
now.
I said
I would honor
you greatly,
but behold,
the LORD
has held you back
from honor."
12
Balaam
said
to Balak,
"Did I not tell
your messengers
whom
you had sent
to me, saying,
13
'
Though
Balak
were to give
me his house
full
of silver
and gold,
I could
not do
anything contrary
to the command
of
the LORD
,
either good
or
bad,
of my own acc
or
d.
What
the LORD
speaks,
that I will speak '?
14
"And now,
behold,
I am going
to my
people
;
come,
and I will advise
you what
this
people
will do
to your
people
in the days
to come."
15
He took
up his discourse
and said,
"The oracle
of Balaam
the son
of Beor,
And the oracle
of the man
whose eye
is opened,
16
The oracle
of him who hears
the words
of God,
And knows
the knowledge
of the Most High,
Who sees
the vision
of the Almighty,
Falling down,
yet having his eyes
uncovered.
17
"I see
him, but not now;
I behold
him, but not near;
A star
sh
all
come
forth from Jacob,
A scepter
sh
all
rise
from Israel,
And sh
all
crush through
the forehead
of Moab,
And tear down
all
the sons
of Sheth.
18
"Edom
shall be a possession,
Seir,
its enemies,
also will be a possession,
While Israel
performs
valiantly.
19
"One from Jacob
shall have dominion,
And will destroy
the remnant
from the city."
20
And he looked
at Amalek
and took
up his discourse
and said,
"Amalek
was the first
of the nations,
But his end
shall be destruction."
21
And he looked
at the Kenite,
and took
up his discourse
and said,
"Your dwelling place
is enduring,
And your nest
is set
in the cliff.
22
"Nevertheless
Kain
will be consumed;
How
long
will Asshur
keep
you captive?"
23
Then he took
up his discourse
and said,
"Alas,
who
can live
except God
has ordained
it?
24
"But ships
shall come from the coast
of Kittim,
And they shall afflict
Asshur
and will afflict
Eber;
So they also
will come to destruction."
25
Then Balaam
arose
and departed
and returned
to his place,
and Balak
also
went
his way.
