Numbers 24:8-10
Legacy Standard Bible
8 (A)God brings him out of Egypt,
He is for him like the horns of the wild ox.
(B)He will devour the nations who are his adversaries,
And will gnaw their bones in pieces,
And [a]shatter them with his (C)arrows.
9 (D)He [b]crouches, he lies down as a lion,
And as a [c]lion, who [d]dares rouse him?
(E)Blessed is everyone who blesses you,
And cursed is everyone who curses you.”
10 Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his [e]hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have blessed them repeatedly these three times!
