    13Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”

    14He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

    15He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”

    16The LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.”

    17He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?”

    18He took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.

    19God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?

    20Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.

    21He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.

    22God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.

    23Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’

    24Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”

    25Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”

    26But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must do’?”
