2And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
3And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
4he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
5How goodly are your habitations, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
6as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.
7There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of Gog shall be exalted, and his kingdom shall be increased.
8God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the enemy.
9He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless you are blessed, and they that curse you are cursed.
10And Balac was angry with Balaam, and clapped his hands together; and Balac said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemy, and behold you have decidedly blessed him this third time.
11Now therefore flee to your place: I said, I will honour you, but now the Lord has deprived you of glory.
12And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to your messengers also whom you sent to me, saying,
13If Balac should give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to transgress the word of the Lord to make it good or bad by myself; whatever things God shall say, them will I speak.
14And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will advise you of what this people shall do to your people in the last days.
15And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
16hearing the oracles of God, receiving knowledge from the Most High, and having seen a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened.
