Numbers 24:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷Water will flow from his buckets,
And his seed will be by many waters,
And his king shall be higher than ^(A)Agag,
^(B)And his kingdom shall be exalted.
⁸^(C)God brings him out of Egypt,
He is for him like the horns of the wild ox.
^(D)He will devour the nations who are his adversaries,
And will crush their bones,
And smash them with his ^(E)arrows.
⁹^(F)He ^[a]crouches, he lies down like a lion,
And like a lioness, who ^[b]dares to rouse him?
^(G)Blessed is everyone who blesses you,
And cursed is everyone who curses you.”
