Numbers 24:5-9
English Standard Version
5 How lovely are your tents, O Jacob,
your encampments, O Israel!
6 Like palm groves[a] that stretch afar,
like gardens beside a river,
(A)like aloes (B)that the Lord has planted,
like cedar trees beside the waters.
7 Water shall flow from his buckets,
and his seed shall be (C)in many waters;
his king shall be higher than (D)Agag,
and (E)his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brings him out of Egypt
and is for him like the (F)horns of the wild ox;
he shall (G)eat up the nations, his adversaries,
and shall (H)break their bones in pieces
and (I)pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He crouched, he lay down like a lion
and (J)like a lioness; who will rouse him up?
(K)Blessed are those who bless you,
and cursed are those who curse you.”
