Numbers 23:18-25

New King James Version

^(A)“Rise up, Balak, and hear!
Listen to me, son of Zippor!

¹⁹ “God^(B) is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He ^(C)said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
²⁰ Behold, I have received a command to bless;
^(D)He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

²¹ “He^(E) has not observed iniquity in Jacob,
Nor has He seen ^[a]wickedness in Israel.
The Lord his God is with him,
^(F)And the shout of a King is among them.
^22 (G)God brings them out of Egypt;
He has ^(H)strength like a wild ox.

²³ “For there is no ^[b]sorcery against Jacob,
Nor any ^[c]divination against Israel.
It now must be said of Jacob
And of Israel, ‘Oh, ^(I)what God has done!’
²⁴ Look, a people rises ^(J)like a lioness,
And lifts itself up like a lion;
^(K)It shall not lie down until it devours the prey,
And drinks the blood of the slain.”
