Numbers 23:12-23

¹²And Balaam said to Balak, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?

¹³And Balak said to him, Come yet with me to another place where thou shalt not see the people, but only thou shalt see a part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.

¹⁴And he took him to a high place of the field to the top of the quarried rock, and he built there seven altars, and offered a calf and a ram on every altar.

¹⁵And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to inquire of God.

¹⁶And God met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.

¹⁷And he returned to him: and he also was standing by his whole burnt sacrifice, and all the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said to him, What has the Lord spoken?

¹⁸And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Hearken as a witness, thou son of Zippor.

¹⁹God is not as man to waver, Nor as the son of man to be threatened; Shall he say and not perform? Shall he speak and not keep to his word?

²⁰Behold, I have received commandment to bless: I will bless, and not turn back.

²¹There shall not be trouble in Jacob, Neither shall sorrow be seen in Israel: The Lord his God is with him, The glories of rulers are in him.

²²It was God who brought him out of Egypt; He has as it were the glory of a unicorn.

²³For there is no divination in Jacob, Nor enchantment in Israel; In season it shall be told to Jacob and Israel What God shall perform.
