발람의 셋째 노래
Numbers 24:1–9: seeing that it pleases the LORD to bless Israel, Balaam does not go to use divination as at the other times, but sets his face toward the wilderness; he sees Israel dwelling according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God comes on him. He takes up his parable: how goodly are the tents of Jacob and the dwellings of Israel; his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom exalted; God brings him out of Egypt, and he shall consume the nations his adversaries; everyone who blesses you is blessed, and everyone who curses you is cursed.

1When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he didn’t go, as at the other times, to use divination, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
3He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
4he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
5How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, Israel!
6As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
7Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.
8God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall consume the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.
9He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed.”
