Numbers 24:5-13

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.
