Numbers 23:13-20

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.
