18And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, Up! Balak, and give ear; give attention to me, O son of Zippor:
19God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?
20See, I have had orders to give blessing: and he has given a blessing which I have no power to take away.
21He has seen no evil in Jacob or wrongdoing in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the glad cry of a king is among them.
22It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.
23No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done!
24See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.
25Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing.
26But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?
27Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.
28So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land.
29And Balaam said to Balak, Make me seven altars here and get seven oxen and seven male sheep ready for me.
30And Balak did as Balaam said, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.
