Numbers 24:4-16

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 thy habitations, Jacob, And thy 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 thee are blessed, And they that curse thee are cursed.

¹⁰And Balak was angry with Balaam, and clapped his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemy, and behold thou hast decidedly blessed him this third time.

¹¹Now therefore flee to thy place: I said, I will honor thee, but now the Lord has deprived thee of glory.

¹²And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not speak to thy messengers also whom thou sentest to me, saying,

¹³If Balak 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; whatsoever things God shall say, them will I speak.

¹⁴And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will advise thee of what this people shall do to thy 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.
